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

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
