Thanks for all the responses. It looks like the consensus is, it will work. Is Shin etsu better? There's no NAPA store near me, so I can't really get the NAPA branded stuff, without paying for shipping.

Sorry if it's been asked before... Will this work for Rubber weather stripping around the doors and Window channels? https://agscompany.com/product/sil-glyde-silicone-brake-lubricant-tube-4-oz/

Another picture for those who doubt/question Walmart's logistics. Picture taken yesterday from my local Walmart. That is less than 4 weeks since the filter is manufactured and it's on the shelves. If I'm to follow the table, Manufactured: 12/03/2014

That one is a bit different construction than the one I posted. The one I posted has the seam on the outside. Good pictures, though. Thanks for posting.

As per request: Pictures of the pleats' bottom, top, and metal seam.

Those who question the freshness of my local Walmart oil filter stock.. This pic below is taken today. Wife and I were there doing some Christmas food shopping. If your local Walmart doesn't take deliveries everyday, it doesn't mean all Walmarts are like that. I frequently see shelves full of...

I have used OEM Hyundai before but never cut them open. OEM Hyundai is currently installed.. I will cut them open sometime late spring or summer... and see it for myself.

Purolator's website doesn't list the gasket inner and outer diameter. I do know that the PL14459 can is bigger diameter wise. So I'm not sure if they're interchangeable. They do have the same thread. Bypass valve pressure is also a bit different. Maybe others have tried. I don't usually go...
