Jeff, it seems that you form your opinions based only on what happens to you. You dispel the idea that a filter could cause engine start up noise based on your use of Frams.
Then, you go on and "confirm" Hyundai's recommendation to use only Quacker State based on your experience with Mobil:

But what is funny too is Hyundai also Recommends Quaker State Oil in the manual. But my Hyundai Dealer puts in Mobil. I get more valvetrain noise with Mobil so I do the Oil Changes myself with Quaker State 5/20
If you use the search function here and type in "oil filter noise", you can find many examples of people experiencing start up noise on many vehicle brands using any given brand of filter. And, by changing the filter brand, these people eliminated the start up noise.
Hyundai is probably just addressing an issue that shows up at the shop too many times. I do wonder how the TSB is worded in order to avoid the Magneson Moss stipulations.
