Oil filter oem or k&n

[Brooklynk5]

Cars due for a second oil change soon. I used an oem oil filter last time and just seen that they have a k&n oil filter now. Anyone used the k&n filter before ?

I would stick with OEM. I have used OEM for 180,000 miles in my Genesis and never a problem. Others have used aftermarket filters and sometimes develop engine knocking. This was documented in Hyundai TSB's.

Ok thanks

always used Hyundai/kia filters in my Optima. Plus i was told if something happens the dealer can blame the oil filter if its not OEM.. not sure how tru that is but i'm sticking with OEM..

The whole "cartridge filter" arrangement in the Hyundai's is wacky and poorly designed in my opinion.

That said, I would go with oem for proper sizing - if nothing else. Esp. on the Gen. 5.0.

The TSB dates back to 7/05 No. 05-20-002

Guess what google found?

Reading this, it seems even more important to change your own or use the dealer.

Just a note ...K&N does not have a oil filter that fit the 3.8L the2015 Sedan
Many other sites show it fits BUT it's for the Coupe not the Sedan

Interesting article - I just swapped out the oil/filter on the 5.0 and the only thing worse than changing a cartridge filter is changing one when you're flat on your back.

But, I'm gratified that I saved the environment.

I like the Beck Arnley part # 041-0846, which is a Mahle OX351 filter, same as OEM. Just doesn't say Kia / Hyundai on it.

Or Rockauto has them...

When checking fit on Amazon .... Amazon said it doesn't fit 2015 Genesis
They don't specify 5.0 L or 3.8L
Have you used this filter and what year and engine do you have ?

I checked the Mahle website (they make the entire oil management system for the Genesis), and they don't list a filter for the 2015 Genesis sedan. But I would call customer service at 1-800-223-9152 and ask them. It may just be that their application guides are not up to date, which is also reflected on Amazon.

Personally, I would buy the OEM filters from an online Hyundai dealer, since it will less hassle if I ever need warranty service.

Vehicle manufacturers spend an insane amount of money on developing and testing new engines. Under extreme conditions, from Death Valley or Dubai heat torture drives to extreme cold testing in the continental northern US and Canada or in temperature controlled test cells. For tens of millions of miles. They have the time and the funds to do that, and the data to make improvements if stuff doesn't work 100%, which happens sometimes in systems as complex as an automotive engine/transmission/drive train system.

I would not buy anything not approved by the OEM. No aftermarket supplier has the capabilities and the data to test and evaluate their products under the same conditions and with the same insight as the OEMs.

If the aftermarket item is Hyundai approved, go for it. Otherwise, stick with the things Hyundai recommends, even if it's a few bucks more.

K&N is a reputable brand, but I don't see any advantage purchasing their stuff, unless they also make the OEM filters and resell the Hyundai part using their own brand name.

My 2 cents.

2012 Equus 5.0.

Hyundai has changed the oil filter # several times.

The OX351 # has white ends, and is the same # as those I bought from a Kia dealer, except the Kia filters have the Kia and/or Hyundai name on them.

I just did the oil and filter swap on the 5.0 engine and I would definitely go with OEM because of sizing and materials.

The filter is a short, stubby thing that has to be carefully suspended between, and fitted on, two separate posts - one on the housing and one on the cap. It has to be perfectly concentric with the filter housing, or you will crush it when putting the filter cap back on. And, of course, you do all this lying on your back.

There's another tread on "crushed filters" out there somewhere and this might be the reason.

Dealership only source

A number of websites told me the correct K & N filter for my 2015 5.0 was no. PS-7029. I bought a couple from Amazon. It doesn't come close to fitting. It's much too small, for starters. The guy at my oil change place told me when I drove in that they didn't have the filter. I told him I did, but he said he thought it was wrong. Another guy had brought in a K&N PS-7029 filter that Auto Zone's computer said would fit. He removed my filter and showed me. It was a Mahle OX977 that I'd gotten at the dealership. Good luck trying to find a Mahle OX977 anywhere.

At present, the ONLY choice is to go to a dealership or order from one. In another post, someone gave the website hyundaioemparts.com (which is Delray Hyundai). It's part no. 263203F500 and costs $8.17, about five bucks less than my dealer wants. Of course, it's not the price of the filter that makes me want to avoid the dealer, it's what they charge for synthetic oil.

I just did the filter/oil change on the 5.0, and it can't be emphasized too much that the OEM filter is the only way to go because of the critical requirements of the sizing and construction of the filter.

The so-called "cartridge" filter system is a recipe for disaster at the hands of a mechanic who may not know or care what he's doing. But on the 5.0, in particular, the filter is a short, squat thing which is suspended between two separate posts - one at the cap and one in the housing. The housing post holds the filter in place when you put the cap back on. The smallest error in sizing of the filter, and bingo, you got big probs. Also, if you look at the interior of the filter, it has a rigid, hard plastic matrix which maintains the structural integrity of the filter on installation. Lastly, the post inside the cap swivels slightly, and rotates so as to minimize screw-ups. The interior of the cap is also hemispherical in shape like a dome to ensure concentric centering of the filter.

Pretty well designed, but it all depends on the right filter.

The entire oil filtering system and housing is made by Mahle, and the Hyundai OEM filter is made by Mahle. So either one will work.

I don't understand why people don't just use the OEM filter (made by Mahle for Hyundai) from their local Hyundai dealer parts department.

The OEM filter is not like older American cars, where the OEM filters are a piece of crap, and many after-market filters are better. It's just not the case for the Hyundai Genesis filters made by Mahle.
