Hyundai oem vs Fram

[GW208]

I went to change the oil on our 2024 Kia Seltos SX today and noticed that the Fram filter I purchased doesn't look exactly like the filter that I removed. The oem filter has a plastic cage on the bottom that I guess can allow the drain plug to rotate around the filter housing as it's tightened. The oem filter is slightly taller also because of the plastic cage.
Does anyone know if the Fram is okay to use or should I wait and pick up a filter at the dealer tomorrow?

I'd probably return the fram and get an oem one if the fram is shorter. May still seal but probably not don't know how the filter housing and cap looks like.

Nevermind, I thought the 1.6 GDI turbo's all took the same filter.

Unfortunately, that doesn't help the OP.

I would wait and get original Hyundai filter.

Another vote for the Hyundai filter. I would never chance that.

Those are two completely different filters. Which engine is in your seltos?

1.6 turbo GDI.

The filter you bought is what most post 2022 Hyundais use. Wife's 1.6T (2025) takes that filter. Your OEM should look similar with the appendage and all. Does your filter housing have a place for the appendage such as the kit shown in this picture?

This is for a Kona. Same engine.

Yes, the filter housing is made for those parts. The old oem filter had that as does the new Fram.

The CH12782 has the correct cage thing on the filter, while Fram's higher filters (TG, XG, etc) don't

On a Hyundai/Kia product, I not only would use the H/K filter, I would document the heck out of doing so.
Same with everything involved in the OC process.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I picked up a filter from our Kia dealer this morning and completed the oil change.
