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!!
I also do mine at 5k, religiously. I use Honda Ultimate Full Synthetic 10w30 with a Honda brand filter.
i use oem filters for my 2004 SiR, they’re pretty much the same price as any other good filters on the market
OEM filter every time. 9th gen. Why cheap out?I’m already saving 50 bucks changing the oil myself might as well invest it back in the car.
I only use the OEM filters. They do the job perfectly, I have no reason to try my luck with a different one.
8th gen Si sedan. Honda filter only! They cost about the same as whatever shit filter you're going to buy at autozone anyway.
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.
With Full synthetic oil and a HYUNDAI OIL FILTER and crush washer.... $70-100.
Changing the oil filter on 8th gen Si's is a pain in the ass. You need to stick your entire arm around the exhaust header, axle, and steering rack to get to the filter, and then once you barely get a grip and spin it off, it spews oil all over your axle boot and into the subframe.
