At least you don't have the XC90 It's such a fun transmission for fluids. Up to 2003-13 T-IV/3309 and only in 2014 does it switch to WS. Gen 2 6 speed in 2010. The cars and wagons switched in 09/10 looks like. Valvoline Multi-Vehicle Import ATF is only approved for 2007-2009 Volvo's. Max life...

The XP is a rock catcher and will flow the most. Fram Ultra will flow as well and actually filter... LoL I am a hater of Wix XP aka Napa Platinum

Yeah, Hyundai will screw you out of your warranty if you look at your engine side ways. They almost caused my parents to loose their engine completely. Replaced the valve cover gasket, but refuse to replace the oil soaked timing belt... As soon as the warranty was up, I pulled the cover and the...

In my experience with a 2010 Hyundai Accent and the evil 1.6L engine... Mobil 1 = rattling and ticking Wix Gold = start up rattle but it quiets as it warms Fram Ultra = silent OEM Hyundai = silent The price of the OEM vs FU, and I run the FU 2x 10K. Engine is out of warranty, and it still...

Pictures of the inside and the sparkles in the media. The media was removed with an snap off knife of questionable quality. Notes: Lots of sparkles in the media. Media actually cut pretty easily. Media was rather stiff and made crunching noises as I expanded it outward. No visible holes in the...

That filter looks easily capable of 2x 5K Ocis on a well maintained engine. Follow the manufacturer suggested maintenance. Hyundai is notorious for denying recalls unless you can prove that you did the maintenance by the book.

Wix XP filter efficiency numbers are 100% the result of the media. The front mounted bypass is a well established designed and the XP has a good ADBV.

Sludge monster engine with [censored] poor maintenance. Short trips, moisture soaked oil at times. Likely maybe at best 5w30 cheapest semi-syn 5-8K oil. Let's remember oil and filter ratings are for easy life in well maintained and problem free engines and trips are long enough to heat the oil...

Originally Posted by DrDanger Adding ribbing should also add strength. May increase complexity or decrease volume though. Domed top and curves are much stronger than flat tops and sharp angles.

Burst pressure rating of the filter is tied directly to four things and I'll list them in importance... 1. Can or outer shell. Thickness and material quality. 2. Crimp or mating method for the outer shell to the base plate. 3. Gasket material and design. 4. Base plate, material, the quality of...

Originally Posted by supton Oops! But why was the sensor not working? I know nothing about this model, but I'm wondering if the sensor was faulty, or if the dipstick was faulty. Does it make noise now on startup, or has that gone away? I'm not sure why it would make noise on startup--the...

Originally Posted by Oily_Thing What bad rep of this motor? This one is pretty bulletproof. You may be thinking about valve timing issues with the pre 2012 engine, but were fixed with a complete redesign in 2012? The 2.4 Eco-Turd is notorious for the rings crapping out and GM absolutely hates...

Jeezus... That oil filter was beaten and abused. God I feel bad for that car, the lack of maintenance was hopefully only a one off. Or the top of that engine is a sludge factory...

Ironically, the Fram is probably the best flowing and filtering. Highest dirt holding capacity The WIX is the worst at filtering but decent flow and dirt capacity. The ACDelco is an Ecore, and is a very middling filter. The Mobil is a close relative of the Amsoil, RP, and good K&N filters. So...

Originally Posted by 69Torino The symptoms you describe indicate there is no reason to not trust the oil pressure warning light. Hope you find some luck. Were you able to measure bearing clearance on assembly at all? Maybe even try measuring them with Plastigauge when you go back into the lower...

Originally Posted by 69Torino Just rebuilt and no oil pressure at idle? Interested in a little more info... year/make/model/engine? Noises? Oil pressure come up with rpm? Real gauge or OEM in dash "on/off" gauge? What filter did you replace it with, a reputable one or a cheapie? Hope this works...
