Pretty uneventful perfect Napa Gold 7061 out of my wife's 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.3. Right at almost exactly 5k Miles on this and Mobil 5W-20 Annual Protection that I got on clearance for $10 per jug and $2 per quart. I can't go over 5k, sorry. Say what you will. Again, it burned up a half quart in 5k, on Mobil 1. So I put another Napa Gold in and filled it up with my personal favorite oil for the daily drivers, Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic 5W-30. This car (or any of our others) never burn a drop on Valvoline. Car has 211k on it now, still runs like a race car. Enjoy the pics.

5000 miles is probably an easy interval for that unless dong a lot of short trips.


Yes it's a 3.3 MPI of 2008 vintage. The thing is spotless inside and runs great. No startup noise or any other noise. It's only had K&N, Hyundai and Napa Gold Filters. The Napa Gold I think is my favorite.

Well... not the batch I have currently. The K&N filters I sometimes use are made in Korea but look slightly different than the 3C100. I would opine that the batch of 6 Napa filters I bought were not made by Mahle. Either way I've been extremely satisfied with the quality of both K&N and Napa Gold Filters for this application. You can see a past K&N used in this car Here
