Oil filter

[Waki]

Now that I know where it's located, does anyone know who ( besides Hyundai ) sell the oil filter. Model # ??
Thanks

There are several other threads on this subject I would suggest you find with the search function, which also include pics. Both Genesis sedan engines use the exact same cartridge that is replaced after removing the plastic housing. The only after-market version I was able to find is one listed on the Purolator website, but I have not been able to locate it anywhere (including online). The list price of the filter is $6.85 at a dealer, which includes the o-rings and a replacement washer for the oil drain plug, so I would just stock up at the dealer.

Thanks...good advice..

Mark,

Don't be hard on him. Like any new owner, he just did not know. Even though it may have been posted before, it is still a good question.

Waki,
I've seen the filter I believe in Advance Auto (or was it Auto Zone) in the Purolator area.
As for me, I will let my dealer do the oil and filter change, at least for now, but if I decide to do it myself someday, I will probably buy a Hyundai filter as I always like to use a "factory filter" with all my cars. (Keep your Hyundai recept).

I wasn't being hard on him. There is a lot of good information about the oil filters posted in the other threads already started that I suggested he look at. I know that because I posted some of it myself.

BTW, every time I run my spell checker it wants to change ctrcbob to crybaby (I am not kidding).

Aside from Purolator, one can also buy Wix brand from Rockauto.com as follows:

WIX Part # 57250 @ $4.45 each plus shipping.

Mine came with some sort of plast assembly attached at one (or both) ends and marked: "Made in Korea". From the description, the Wix filter seems very similar to the Hyundai-brand filter.

As mentioned in several other threads, it is probably identical to the OEM filter. Did you get the 2 o-rings and washer (for the oil drain plug on the V6) with the filter? The Hyundai filter comes with these and costs about $8.00 at my dealer.

One gets two O-rings, but not the crush washer.

IME, there isn't a lot of crushing going on with the crush washer. On previous cars I've reused it over and over. I think it's more of a compression washer...allowing room for more bolt flexibility and creating a flat sealing surface.

That is a great point, Disaster. I have always disliked the term "crush" washer, when the washer is made of aluminum. If one really tightened the drain plug enough to "crush" the washer, they would likely destroy the threads in the oil pan.

For some years (at least ten, maybe more), I have used nylon washers for the oil drain plugs in all my vehicles. There would be some compression with these; however, you would be less likely to damage the oil pan threads. I have never had to replace one of these washers, and I never had an oil leak from the oil pan.

I've never seen an aluminum one...just brass and copper. The nylon is a good idea...as long as it's actually nylon. Other plastics, such as polypropelene, don't fair so well against oil. How hard do you torque the nut down when using a nylon washer?

The washer that comes with the Hyundai oil filter appears to me to be aluminum. The color is not that of brass or copper.

I torque the drain plug to the recommended setting, 30 lb. ft.

Relative to an earlier posting about the Wix oil filter (from Rockauto.com), I stated that the filter came with two o-rings, but no crush washer. In fact, after looking closer, the Wix filter also includes an aluminum crush washer. Sorry for the oversight.
