This is the one to use my guy. On my fxt the cartridge is slightly taller than subarus. So more filter material and its easier to take off because its longer.
Yes, it's absolutely worth it! in fact, I own one myself. I bought mine for $6,500 AUD with around 280,000 km on the odometer, and it's now at over 306,000 km and still going strong.
before taking it in go to the dealer parts counter and buy a genuine Hyundai oil filter and make sure it is installed on your engine before taking it in to be looked at.
Use quality oil and filters, changing them often. To this end, oil pickup and baffle are sound upgrades.
I changed the oil/filter at 590 miles on my 25 Forester wilderness.
Get some ramps, 17mm socket, oil (5w30 or 0w20), oil filter (Subaru p/n 15208AA170.... don't know the Toyota p/n off the top of my head)
Personally, I’d never use non-OEM parts (including filters) in my Tucson.
I do my oil changes and if i order online its less than 10$ a filter but if i dont place order online, its like 5 dollars more.
I had a Walmart do this to me in 06. Brand new Hyundai was on a cross country trip. First pm was due at 3k with the original break in oil we were at 4500 so stopped at a Walmart. Got 16 miles away and oil light come on no knocking. Oil all over engine. Had an oil filter that drops in in o6 them drop on paper ones were uncommon. They didn\u2019t change the o ring blew out all over the engine.
Avoid the blue Subaru filters. They are Fram made with cheap components.
