Hyundai Oil Filters

The oil filter in your Hyundai is critical to how well your engine runs. In fact, if the car or SUV you love didn't have one, its oil pump and the pump's bearings would wear out double quick, causing all sorts of engine problems. You can learn more about it right here at our auto parts store.

Hyundai Oil Filters FAQ

What Do They Do?

They trap the impurities and infiltrates present in your vehicle's motor oil. (This is a lot like what engine and cabin air filters do for it -- capture external contaminants.)

Unfortunately, not even the washable, reusable kind is permanent. Sooner or later, the one your ride has will decline with age, that is, if it doesn't clog full of muck. When that happens, those engine troubles will almost certainly result. The best way to avoid them is regular replacement.

When Do You Change One?

At every oil change. You can also do it during every other one. That's every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or so. Alternatively, it's about every 3 months. The exception is if you have an extended-life oil filter. These often last as many as 10,000 miles.

How Do You Tell it's Time to Replace it?

There are signs you can look for. They include:

• Exhaust that's overly dirty or smoky
• Oil leaks and/or pressure loss
• Metallic sounds or sputtering coming from the engine

Which Ones Fit Your Model?

Check your owner's manual to determine the right thread and gasket sizes. It's crucial to install a filter that fits your vehicle. Putting one in that's the wrong size can cause an oil leak, or worse, filter detachment -- a result that usually means severe (and expensive) engine damage. The short answer, though: one Hyundai makes.
