With a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty, I'm sticking with Hyundai filters. I don't want the excuse "You didn't use the correct filter. Warranty claim denied."

Same with me. I get the OEM filters using "negotiated" price at the local dealer-- the price is reasonable (get 4 at a time). I change the oil and filter every 5k miles with Mobil 1 EP.

I am taking mine in soon and assume that I will receive the OEM product. My dealer provides free oil changes for life of ownership every six months or as required by mileage.

I am 80 years old so it won’t cost them a lot, my guess is he might have comped me 2 0r 3 years if I was 30. Plus with the “Market Adjustment “ I paid they could afford a new set of tires every couple years also.

Friends don't let friends use Charmin. Angel Soft Ultra or nothing at all!
Wow... this thread has turned into a whole bunch of 'my oil and filter is better than your oil and filter'... All antictdotal đź’©.
And to add fuel to the fire... Fram is made in Chinah - OEM in Korea. Take your pick.

I would agree there may be some difference with oil filters. When it comes to oil it's either semi-synthetic or synthetic and if it's API SN plus it's not likely to matter what brand it is for a daily driver. Incidentally even oils marketed as conventional meeting current requirements are synthetic blends. It's all marketing.

Yes. The Fram filter in the picture is made in China. Not worried, as long as Fram is doing good proper QA. And I believe they do. To my knowledge, no car company is producing their own filters. They all outsource it.

At least at one point, Fram made the Honda oil filters for the US/Canada market. Not sure if that has changed recently, since I haven't bought one for quite some time.

Was out today and driving by the dealer so I popped in and picked up a filter for next time. $10 and pennies with tax.

Not that it really matters, but.... That's the Fram EG, not the ULTRA.
In any case, the more fine particles that a filter captures, the more restrictive it is and the more quickly it becomes even more restrictive as it gets clogged with those finer particles. At that point you run the risk of the filter going in to bypass mode during high oil pressure situations and then it literally filters nothing. If you are changing your oil & filter regularly, that shouldn't matter, but the Ultra's claim of 20,000 miles is hard to believe. There's a balance to be made here, I change my oil & filter every 4,000 so I have no problems with the Ultra and its finer particle capture.
But for those who may be thinking of skipping a filter change at every other oil change, think twice!

I use the Ultra version(Walmart) on mine as well, running on Costco Kirkland oil though. I used them on a couple of Honda Accord 2013 2016 for years.

How's the Kirkland working for you? I I have the Kirkland 5w-30 running in my elantra... first time I have used Kirkland. Project farm youtube and pqia test convinced me to try it. I have not tried it on my palisade yet since it's new.

It's fine but I've started to notice it eats up quite a lot of oil since I've started doing it myself after no more free maintenance. I guess I just got to do more extra work for these GDI engines. So I may try other oils "marketed" to be better for GDI.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for companies to void a warranty or deny coverage under warranty because of an aftermarket or recycled part was used. That would be like saying they would void your warranty if the dealer doesn't change your oil.

Just be careful that you choose a filter with the same specs or better. Pay particular attention to flow rate. Since that will get you in trouble with warranty work.

Not hyundai, but I have seen them deny warranty claims for wrong spark plugs because they are a different brand or an aftermarket air filter, K&N. The replacement part has to meet or exceed OE spec's at the determination of the OE. Lawyers cost more than oil filters. In my state to even enforce the weak lemon law one needs to hire a private lawyer at one's own expense.
I keep buying Hyundais because in almost 20 years through 8 new ones I have had a total of one warranty claim and it was handled promptly and correctly. While I was at the dealer to pick up that SUV, i popped over to the parts department and picked up an oil filter.

Totally agree
