Detailed Description

What It Helps Address

• Engine oil contamination from normal wear particles
• Reduced filtration performance during stop-and-go driving
• Service intervals that require a cartridge-style oil filter replacement
• Routine maintenance on Hyundai and Kia engines using OE-specified filter formats
• Oil service needs for vehicles driven in short-trip or severe-duty conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s OE oil filter specification before installation, since cartridge filters are application-specific. Replace the filter during the manufacturer-recommended oil change interval and confirm the housing and sealing surfaces are clean before reassembly. Use the oil type specified by the vehicle manufacturer, especially on Hyundai Genesis, Hyundai Azera, and Kia Sedona service intervals.

Quality Assurance

WIX cartridge oil filters are built for OE-recommended maintenance schedules and are used across a wide range of Hyundai and Kia applications. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service interval guidance for the best maintenance results.
