The high end Fram Ultra is probably the best filter you can get. It filters very fine particles that other brands simply don't. While not a fan of Fram filters, the high end ultra filter has nothing to do with the cheaper ones and is a very good filter. It does reduce oil pressure a bit, but that won't matter unless your engine is about to die. But as far as actual filtration, you will have a hard time finding another filter that will filter as well as that one.
ALWAYS use a HYUNDAI (KIA) oil filter and crush washer! Change your oil and filter every 5k and you will be FINE!!
I used to go for the Fram Ultra Synthetic (not at all the same as the cheap Frams), but lately I've been getting Bosch or AC Delco filters from the internet, as they're decent quality and very inexpensive (1/3 the price of a Fram Ultra).
Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic 0W20 with a Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter. Every car I've owned gets this (weight varies by engine requirements). Runs better and longer than M1EP, Castrol GTX, Valvoline MaxLife, and it's cheaper than Royal Purple and still can be bought at Walmart.
72 dollars at my dealer, 120 everywhere else.
Never ever ever ever use these Mr oil change filters, always get a oem,even frams suck.
FRAM is well known for making cheap shit with poor pleating and cardboard drainback valves. Yes, they'll probably work "fine", but its yet another corner cut by SoA. But why settle for fine?
The original company that made them was bought out by fram and now they are all junk.
They overfilled my Elantra Sport one time by two quarts but it's okay because they didn't tighten the oil filter down so it leaked out all over the place. I caught it quickly so no damage done.
Dont use a fram filter.... That will help a TON. There is a reason almost nobody uses Fram except walmart. I wouldnt trust the base fram past 3k period
