Oil filter Mahle or OEM Hyundai

I had an e90 with the n52 engine. When i first got the car i installed a Mahle filter that fit. After a bit of driving the engine started making weird noises, similar to vacum leaks. And I did som research. Apperantly my experiance was common with "aftermarket" oil filters. Switched to Mann filter on my next oil change, specificaly the same variant as the right one in your picture. The problem disappeared instantly. Also the Mahle filter had kind of colapsed in on itself.

I have no problem with using a Bosch, MAN, Mahle as long as it’s a good brand.

MAHLE is the OE supplier for the Hyundai/KIA filter you're trying to get.

I'd change the oil and filter with a Hyundai filter. Oil doesn't matter so much. These engines are very temperamental when it comes to the filters as they get higher in mileage.

All you need

to do is change your oil

And oil filter every 5000 miles OR 6 months using a high quality FULL SYNTHETIC Oil and a quality ( HYUNDAI) oil filter!!

Mahle is the way. Allegedly the OEM maker and after using them for a year they look and feel exactly the same.

Try to source OEM Hyundai oil filter though. I've heard that ticking before with non-OE filters, and regardless of what shops tell you the OE filter can make a difference.

Daca imi aduc aminte, doar un filtru de ulei de la Mahle a venit diferit fata de cel pe care il luasem inainte cu un an; Made in China vs Made in Austria.

I do my oil changes and if i order online its less than 10$ a filter but if i dont place order online, its like 5 dollars more.

Cap was really stuck when taking it off initially. Also required Some force to get back on. When I first just installed new filter I got yellow oil light, still not great. Also noticed oil coming from gap between ofh and cap. And a drip from the top socket end. So end conclusion, mahle oil filters suck
