does anyone know the oil filter number for an 01 tiburon? my old one is a PH6607 and online and in t he oil filter book it says it is a PH9688. i bought the PH9688 and it is much bigger and loks alot different. please help. thanks

 

well if it seats without leaking oil i say go for it

bigger means more filtration in my eyes

 

assuming fram? yea, thats the part number they list online...

i know for a Purolator filter, the part number is 14459

just line up the old filter to the new one, making sure the gaskets are the same size and you'll be fine

 

i prefer the bosch oil filter that they recommend for our car

wider, deeper and fits our car with no problems

autozone has it for 5 bones so thats a good buy

 

yeah i was talkign about fram. i already said the filter itself is bigger so i would just assume the gasket is bigger bc the oil filter is bigger? is it often they change the oil filters? if i could get a PH6607 i'd do that no matter what online says

 

not really

the bosch filter is wider than the one hyundai sells

and it seals great so if the gaskets line up go for it i guess

 

thanks for the people who have tried to help but i guess i'm still wondering....will a fram PH9688 work on a 2001 tiburon or do I need a fram PH6607 which is currently on my car now? thanks

 

well buy the ph9688 and see if the gasket lines up with the filter you have now

 

well the gaskets line up on both models but i guess i'm wondering why fram would change the model number for the 01 tiburon?

 

probably cheaper for them to build that or the other one wasnt working as well as they thought it would so they upgraded the filter
