Oil filter OEM Hyundai or Hengst
I purchased 10 pack OEM hyundai filter on amazon for $37. still have some left. 5 qt oil is $15 on sale at costco.
OEM oil filter is required in Hyundai or they will shut down and leave no codes in OBD2
I use liqui moly but I have my doubts about whether it actually is *the best* oil. I'm sure it's good, but any oil that meets the spec called out in your owners manual is "good". I place more weight on the filter than anything else. Hengst for me, get that Fram shit outta here.
ALWAYS use a HYUNDAI (KIA) oil filter and crush washer! Change your oil and filter every 5k and you will be FINE!!
Lol I work at a dealership. Had 2 different Genesis coupe. Currently heavily modified. I use OEM oil filter with Liqui Moly 5w40 OIL. OEM filter due to bypass valve design and oil that is the very best.
The OEM filter is super cheap here at Hyundai parts shop in my town (cheaper than a mc happy meal) that I honestly just don't think about anything else.
I know old hyundai engines are very picky about their oil filter especially on their v6. Only use OEM filters from hyundai
Liqui Moly Oil change 5W-40 with Hengst Filter
Official VW filters are Hengst's with a little VW logo and part number printed on the end just note that the filters do not include the gasket for the oil-can drain plug (dunno if that's on the mkIII's, but it's on the mkIV's). Just means you can't really drain the can, just unscrew it and be quick to minimize the amount of oil that goes flying
since vw started using the synthetic material i am very fond of using oem. ive never seen the synthetic material deteriorate or crush in the housing between oil changes. ive also seen the plastic on those types of hengst filters break apart and that scares me to use.
