oil filter size

[JohnS]

K&D has 3 different lengths of oil filter.
3.25"
4"
5.25"
Do they all fit?

Don't use them. Only use the Genesis OEM Filter unless you really want oil pressure and flow problems.

From what I've read, Hyundai has top quality oil filters. While under the 100,000 mile Powertrain Warranty, I'd follow Spanky61 and use only OE filters.

Right! I wouldn’t fool around with the aftermarket filters either.

Agree. Normally I'd say any name brand filter would do, but. . . there have been some reports of problems in the past. The genuine filter is not that expensive so not worth the risk.

ON any newer vehicle engines that have cartridge filters it is best to use OEM filters.

I would stick with the OEM filters. Hyundai does use a good quality Mann filter, so no reason to risk any fitment/quality issues by going aftermarket. Plus the filters cost only about $7-$10 depending on where you buy them. Well in my area at least.
