Oil filter Wix or OEM Hyundai
Oil changes are simple, 7 quarts of Mobil 1 ESP X2 oil, quality filter - I like Wix.
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.
Swapped the oil filter with the recommended Wix oil filter
I use 5W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic oil in it with Wix filters.
The car runs smoother, burns less oil, idle feels quieter, oil comes out less dirty and overall, the car just feels better.
Wix in everything.
Purolator and Wix filters are made by mann+hummel. Both are excellent filters. The Wix filter part# 57002 is made specifically for the 2.5 non turbo Skyactive engine because it does not have an anti drain back valve and same goes for oem. 0w20 only comes in synthetics so as long as you use what is recommended in the manual you can use your favorite oil. I will be doing 3-4K oci.
I use Amsoil Signature Series and a Wix Filter.
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!!
Right now I have Red Line 5w30 and a wix filter due to what I’ve read on forums
The car takes a different oil filter (wix 57170). The filter housing has a center structure coming out of it that slides in the bottom of the filter (to keep it in place?) and the new filter doesnt have that. I sat there with a dremel for 2 hours and made the new filter fit. Success, but its still leaking the same amount of oil.
