Genuine Kia/Hyundai oil filter 5650 mi cut open

[goodtimes]

On the Fram test video at around 5 minutes in I just noticed the can itself moves down, according to their picture, which breaks the gasket seal and it leaks at around 350 psi. The can doesn't burst. The baseplate is fixed at the thread so the baseplate must flex out. Maybe that's why some filters have very thick baseplates.

That's not the case, Fram is just making an improvement to make the filter better in the future, not to fix a current problem on the streets.

Is this why there is a PH8A, PH49A, PH2870A, PH3387A etc?


Yes ... and who knows until it happens, maybe the improved KIA/Hyundai filter will end up with the "A" on the end.

Honda Rock catcher filters allow engines to last hundreds of thousands of miles. I doubt Hyundai is worse seriously. Its a pretty decent filter I thought. It looks pretty stout.
