Direct OEM match. best filters

Purchased for 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5L. The car lost its oil supply, bled out, ran 10 miles with almost no oil and is now making valve noise. I chose K&N here because I trust the brand (longtime air filter user with literally dozens of purchases) and want to be 100% sure there are as few flow restrictions as possible without sacrificing too much filter performance. Combined with a quality synthetic oil and Lucas High Mileage Oil Stabilizer, I'm hoping to keep the now-weakened top end sufficiently lubricated to stop or slow its bullying, even if it's now a bit like a diesel monster with a rumbling noise sounds. At the next oil change, a heavier oil may need to be used. Just take a look. Let's get back to the filter. Exact OEM match. Like other brands for this model, it comes with new o-rings for the high pressure bypass valve and filter cap. Also included is a new aluminum drain plug washer. Tech tip – Put a little grease on the filter cap o-ring – it will make it MUCH easier to remove for your next oil change!

Pros
  • EASY TO REMOVE: Quick and easy removal with wrench
Cons
  • New Competitors Available
