OIL FILTER SELECTION

All Hyundai engines are equipped with a high-quality disposable oil filter. This type of filter is recommended as the replacement filter for all vehicles. However, the quality of replacement filters may vary. Only install high-quality filters to ensure the most effective oil filtration.
