Factory Hyundai Oil Filters

Oil Filters 101

What One Does

It captures impurities -- those left over from the oil production process -- plus the infiltrates that build up in the oil while it lubricates engine parts. If your car or SUV didn't have one, it'd end up with a stressed oil pump or worn-out pump bearings -- or worse, all sorts of other engine problems.

The Parts of One

It's comprised of a filter medium, a housing, and a gasket. The oil filter housing is located in the engine bay, often right next to the engine cover, and it contains the oil filter itself, connecting it to the engine. The oil filter housing gasket is a rubber attachment, one that helps seal the filter whether it's external or internal. Plus, it helps keep motor oil from spilling out. You can access the entire assembly from underneath the compartment, most of the time, though, to do so, you may need to remove an undertray. On some Hyundai and Genesis models, however, the filter is accessible from above the bay. (Check your owner's manual for the final word on this.)

When to Replace One

Take care of it regularly, during every oil change or every other one. That means every 3,000 miles or 3 months. Otherwise, there are some failure symptoms that'll tell you it's time; keep an eye out for them.

Signs of a Bad One

• Your vehicle experiences a loss of oil pressure
• An engine oil warning lights up on the dashboard
• The vehicle's engine starts generally underperforming

See these, and you should inspect the oil filter and swap it out if needed. Before you install a new one, be sure you're getting the genuine article.

Why Buy a Genuine OEM Oil Filter vs. Aftermarket?

Hyundai and Genesis design oil filters specifically for their cars and SUVs, a fitment guarantee you'll always get from the brand you love. Not every off-brand can promise the same. In fact, if you put in a filter that doesn't fit your vehicle quite right, it can lead to oil leaks, or worse -- serious and expensive engine damage caused by the filter detaching from the oil pump.
