This is an Mahle 180713CJ2 filter from my 2018 Santa Fe. 14,983 on vehicle, 4,683 miles on filter.
I know Mahle is the OEM filter for Hyundai/Kia, but it has a different number than OEM. This filter was put in by the selling dealer (an Acura dealer).
Oil was Delo XLS 10w-30 that was in for 2,998 miles (changed whatever dealer oil was in there ~12,000 miles, but left the filter in).
Fiber end cap:
Plastic end cap:
Slightly wide spacing at the seam, but the rest was great:
All cut apart, I tried to tear it apart with just my hands, but not happening:
There were some orange bits in the media, maybe some gasket sealer??
Little closer pics:
Put in some Pennzoil Platinum 10w-30 and another OEM Mahle filter:
Average of 19 mph, and 71.5 hours on the oil:
I also screwed up this change, something I have never done.
I installed an EZ-Drain (similar to Fumoto) this change, and forgot to close the valve, I had added 5.5 of 6 qts when I realized what happened.
Well, at least the engine got a nice internal rinse. Luckily it was some clearance oil with rebate, so was only ~$5 of oil wasted, but still mad at myself.
