I use all Fram Ultras in my vehicles below - but now I question if it matters in my GDI Sonata because I am running < 5,000 mile OCI's due to GDI engine requirements .
While Hyundai oil filters are made well - their filter media is average at best ... With such a low OCI on a GDI engine it may be more cost effective to just use the OEM filter OR simply use the Fram Ultra for two OCI's (roughly 10K miles on an oil filter rated for up to 20K miles ) . One thing I do like about the Fram Ultra is the outstanding filter media (much better than Hyundai) and the nice grip surface on the end cap ... What would you do ?
