Oil filter Wix or OEM Hyundai
I bought a 10 Wix filters off of Rockauto. Part #: 51394. Each one was $4.80 and shipping was $10. Came out to be roughly the same price as buying OEM ones from a dealership off of eBay and I would rather use Wix ones.
Wix is considered to be good, and it’s not expensive and readily available (can walk into local O’Reilly and buy off the shelf). Subaru OEM works if you’re close to a dealership or think to order it; I never remember to order and my local dealer is terrible, so I avoid them.
Try to source OEM Hyundai oil filter though. I've heard that ticking before with non-OE filters, and regardless of what shops tell you the OE filter can make a difference.
Stick with the wix, rebuilders of rotory engine's suggest that brand alone. Given the necessity of the filtration needed for those engines, that's all I use for k20, 404xxxkm and running strong!
The WIX oil filer still included all the gaskets and a copper crush washer.
I purchased 10 pack OEM hyundai filter on amazon for $37. still have some left. 5 qt oil is $15 on sale at costco.
Pennzoil and a wix filter, 30 bucks total and 10 minutes of my time.
OEM oil filter is required in Hyundai or they will shut down and leave no codes in OBD2
Then go buy a Wix. Or go to the dealer. Leave the cheap stuff (and Fram) on the shelf.
72 dollars at my dealer, 120 everywhere else.
