Came off of a new-to-us 2018 Hyundai Sonata with the 2.4 GDI and 37,000 miles, unknown oil. Probably somebody's bulk 5w20. Has less than 1000 miles on it, but didn't have a sticker in it when we bought it, so had no idea of mileage until I pulled it. That being said, it was an ex-rental, and likely got the cheapest maintenance service they could find, and as I prefer full syn, it was coming out anyway. Had a coil spring that you can see in one of the pics, forgot to snap it by itself. Looks decent enough for a low cost filter, if I had to guess based on construction i'd say its a Mannhummelwixolator.

Thays a made in China or made in Korea filter. Similar to Premium Guard filter I see at Rural King. Nice photos and what oil and filter went back in and on?

Thank You sir

Looks good, I always questioned Prontos when they came through the shop. I had one off of an A6 that looked absolutely terrible.
 
You bet Stude, and thanks!! Mobil 1 5w30 and a Hastings LF565 were the replacements.

The handful of Pronto's I have used over the years seem to be a decent jobber filter for the 5k and under OCI's.
 
Did this have a bypass valve? I just cut open a Pronto and noticed it was lacking one, it came off a 2006 Toyota Corolla.

I have never used one, but the ones I have seen here seem to be decent.
Appears on par with most other made in China filters. Would use for a standard oil change on most vehicles.
