Also, I know we're supposed to use Hyundai OEM oil filter, but the nearest dealer is like 50 miles away and I work in the garage at a Ford dealership. So, I used a K and N oil filter instead. Is this ok, or should I go buy a few form the dealer in a couple weeks.

Also, does anyone know a site where I can get some original factory center caps? 2 of mine are missing.

Don't use the K&N, there is a thread about this somewhere.



And wait, this is your second Tiburon?

K&N oil filters are BAD! Its too bad they're not as good as the air filters. OEM is the only way to go. If you cant wait that long, then using even a Fram filter for the short time is better than the K&N's. Go to the dealer and buy 4 OEM filters and you'll be good to go for an entire year.



For center caps, ebay is your friend!

Thank you guys, and yes this is my second. My first was a 98 auto, bought for $ 732, he wanted more but thats all the cash I could scrape up. It only had 2nd and drive, no 1st or od. It's now in that scrap heap in the sky, because I didn't have another car.

$400 for a tranny swap and it's a great fully functional $1,132 car.

$600 is a steal granted it's not after an accident. People can talk all they want, the quality and old 90's designs are highly comparable to modern cars and were years ahead of their time unlike some of their competitors. Infact, I see NO difference in the 1995/1996 clips, brackets, rubber grommets, some of the plastic panels, and some mechanical components (radiators, alternators...etc) to those of brand new 2013 cars. You got a great value and a good car.



Go to the dealer and buy 4 OEM filters and you'll be good to go for an entire year.


LOL good grace lad, I would change mine once every 4 years!

Purolator Pure One filters are also good, as are Wix. You can get OEM filters delivered to you from eBay or online Hyundai parts dealers.
