New (old) Hyundai Oil Filters From RockAuto?

[syn_all_the_way]

Just purchased a few Hyundai OEM oil filters from RockAuto. The part number I ordered was the older 26300-35504 for $2.57 each. I knew they weren't the newer 05 version, but I didn't expect them to be 5+ years old! That is what the label is telling me, right?

I'm still going to use them. Just thought I'd share.

That's a deal. I would use them also.

Looks like January 2nd, 2016. As long as they are sealed I’d use them as well.

I bought some of the 05 part numbers in december of last year from an Amazon seller, and the lot number shows the year 2019. Shouldn't be a problem. You got a pretty good deal. I paid around 4-5 bucks all in a piece.

Nothing new for RA.

Nothing new for RA.

They stock a whole bunch of filters for the 87-92 transverse Iron Duke, I'm sure they haven't manufactured those in 15-20years.

We've got guys here sitting on 20–year-old oil and filter stashes, not afraid to use them. So what if the filter is 5 years old? Still works for the application, right?

Another thought: we've had lots of threads talking about poor quality in newer filters, and older filters performing better. That old Hyundai filter might be better than its replacement, who knows.

I still have some OEM Hyundai filters from when we got the Santa Fe in 2012. I actually forgot about them. Found them when we moved. LOL

No issue using them at all.
