As for the 14459 application, it can be used interchangeably (where room permits) with the 14610, same threads and similar size gasket. It is also used on majority pre 2001/02 Hondas.
It's also good that you note no out of the ordinary engine noise using it with your Sonata. Been more than one thread on Hyundai engine noise using non Hyun oem filters and a related TSB. Considering that and your solid result here, 'if using a P1', I'd stick with the spec'd PL14459 in your Sonata. And it's rated 99.9%@20um.
As for can thickness, in decades of diy o/f changes never had an issue with it on a filter from any manufacturer. And since being a bitog member, I can't recall of one picture or thread documenting it as being an issue in pc use. Perhaps if one does a lot of off roading or gravel road travel and/or has an especially low hanging filter orientation, it 'could' be a consideration. But like oil filter flow, not a concern for me.
On a personal note, as you've now no doubt observed especially with your other post, there's a small minority that unfortunately question your integrity. Or worse in the Classic thread, stop just short of calling you a liar. Those are what I refer to as the dedicated Purohaters. Your two solid Puro results has cracked their Purolator paradigm. Not to sound condescending, but think you handled it as well as possible.
Wondering if you still have PL14459 as I have a question or two more about it.
Anyway, thanks again for taking time to cut and post pics.
sayjac, Thanks. There is nothing that anyone will say that will convince the haters.
Thanks for the info on 14459 & 14610.
I still have the PL14459. Although, I accidentally threw away the threaded portion of the can, and the ADB valve.
I also have a Honda A02 from my Ody's last OC early this month. (Ody is on Fram Ultra right now) I don't know if I should post it. Maybe, if there is enough interest on it.
