OEM Hyundai oil filters have a better anti-drainback valve than aftermarket filters, and they're cheap enough to use every time you change your oil. While I've used Mobil 1, Wix, and K&N oil filters on my other vehicles, my Elantra GT ONLY gets OEM filters. Personally, I wouldn't switch to aftermarket.
Owner reviews for oil filter
I’ve picked up parts for my Acty off the shelf at my local Honda dealer on more than one occasion. They use the same Honda OEM oil filters that can be picked up anywhere. The Actys also share a ton of common parts with US sold Hondas of the same era. I’ve had zero issues finding parts for my Actys and often times the parts are inexpensive
i keep using wix and haven’t had any issues
I will always use nothing else except the denso made OEM filter. The flow rate, the drain back, or lack of one, is perfect for this engine.
Subarus are honestly for the most part pretty easy to work on. Oil + filter changes are very easy. 30 ft/lbs, only use oem or wix filter imo
Fram is actually pretty underrated. People see the price and think it's cheap junk, but fram actually has a good filter with low micron rating. Fram actually invented the oil filter. Look it up. I have noticed a couple quality control problems but that's why I look at the filter before I buy it. Never had a problem
I use Mobil 1 oil filters purchased from Walmart. They’ve been good for me so far.
OEM. I order a bunch off of Rock Auto. Two of the K&Ns I've had leaked just the tiniest bit but enough to be annoying. Granted, I'm not on a stock turbo or stock by any means, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Their most recent mistake cost me my entire vehicle. They put my oil filter cover on without an oil filter. This caused debris from less than three months to create enough friction to blow a piston arm in my engine.
The blue Subaru filters are garbage. Made my FRAM in US. Use the black ones from Japan instead.
