Anyone know where I can purchase oil filters for the 2012 3.6, wholesale ?
Great link. Does that come with the drain plug gasket?
I paid less than that at my dealer. Ask you dealer for the price quote of the number of filters you want to buy at one time.The beck arnly is exact same as OEM. here is link http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Oil-Filter-Beck-Arnley_10001493-P_1_R%7CGRPFILTAMS_____

I don't understand that. I had a 2009 3.8 and that filter is totally different from the 2012 filter on my 2012. The 2009 was a casing, the 2012 is a cartridge, much bigger !!![]()
They are both cartridges. The OEM end caps have changed color from black to white, but that was starting before the 2012 model.I don't understand that.

From the best I can tell, Hyundai has switched filter suppliers from MANN-HUMMEL Dongwoo Co. Ltd (with black end caps) to MAHLE (with white end caps). The MAHLE filters are more expensive than the older MANN-HUMMEL ones. The MAHLE is specified for the 2012, but it "appears" that you can use either the MAHLE or the MANN-HUMMEL for a 2009-2011 Genesis.I purchased my oil filter from my dealership a few weeks back for $10 and some change; the part number is 26320-3C30A. The Hyundai Genuine Parts branded box reads made in korea but the MAHLE branded oil filter reads made in austria. The markings on the oil filter are 26330-3C300 and OX 351. Definitely interesting.
We went through this before on the cabin filter, but I am quite sure that there are only two filter manufacturers for the Genesis, and only because Hyundai switched suppliers. The $6 Fram filter at Walmart is the exact same filter as the older black Hyundai OEM filter. I recently purchased some Hyundai OEM filters online from a Hyundai dealer for $5.48, so $6 is about the right price.Hyundai part for 3.8L engine: 26320-3C30A.
I'm sorry, but sorry, I will prob get skewered for this....there IS a reason why that filter is $6 on the shelf at Wal Mart. I'll use NAPA, WIX, Hyundai OEM or BA, but I simply will not stick a Walmart $6 Fram filter in a $45K car...LoL...I have the same attitude I take with my Suzuki motorcycle...Suzuki OEMs are great, but I only use NAPA Gold, Wix, K&N, etc as the materials and construction of the filter are of utmost significance to me. Same thing with our 2004 Envoy XUV. Now, in my 1990 Isuzu pickup, I do use FRAM prob more than 50% of the time, and the truck has 190K pluc miles on it. However, the oil frequency change is such that a 5 buck filter doesn't bother me all that much, I suppose. As I am still in my 'free oil changes' mode from the Hyundai dealer, I haven't had time yet to really evaluate the aftermarket filters for my Genny. I use K&N air filters on all vehicles (to include motorcycle) but do not see a K&N oil filter listed for my 2012 3.8L Genny.
The LAST 'cartridge' type oil filter I had to replace was on my 1967 Camaro RS....as I got tired of that mess, I bought a spin-on adapter for the '67 and then only had to buy the same filters for the 67 AND 68 convertible. Such is life. I'm not too old to 'change my spots', but I'd need some convincing that the Fram at Wallyworld is every bit as good as the OEM or BA filters... So convince me!![]()
