vs
Oil filter Mahle or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I had an e90 with the n52 engine. When i first got the car i installed a Mahle filter that fit. After a bit of driving the engine started making weird noises, similar to vacum leaks. And I did som research. Apperantly my experiance was common with "aftermarket" oil filters. Switched to Mann filter on my next oil change, specificaly the same variant as the right one in your picture. The problem disappeared instantly. Also the Mahle filter had kind of colapsed in on itself.
Pros: problem disappeared instantly
Cons: weird noises, filter collapsed
Vehicle:
BMW

MAHLE is the OE supplier for the Hyundai/KIA filter you're trying to get.
Pros: OE supplier

Mahle is the way. Allegedly the OEM maker and after using them for a year they look and feel exactly the same.
Pros: same as OEM, long lasting
I have a 2013 Jetta that calls for 5W-40. I only use oil filters purchased directly from Volkswagen, and I only use Castrol oil. I've had positive results doing this
Pros: positive results
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
and don't use store bought oil filters unless they sell Mahle or Mann.
Pros: Mahle or Mann
Cons: store bought oil filters

After an oil change, the car shot most of the oil out from the filter. I installed a brand new Mahle filter, tightening it snug. After a short drive, it again shot all the oil out of the filter, with the gasket forced to the outside.
Cons: gasket forced out, oil shot out
I worked on a 2.5L 4 cylinder Passat not too long ago and the drain plug was a nightmare to get off, the oil filter needed a special socket- it was like a 32mm internal hex- I needed to borrow from a master tech
Cons: drain plug nightmare
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
