NAPA GOLD #1334 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Good Morning BITOGERS. Off a friends base model 14’ Sonata that had Delo 10w30 SM rated oil in for about 3,300~ miles. Looks real good to me. Put another one of these he provided on with some Providence all fleet 10w30 SP rated oil. 34x,xxx on vehicle

Disclaimer: this is in fact a KIA/HYUNDAI OEM knockoff filter. Built like a tank. Premium Guards we used at work were same as this. Happy Sunday folks

That's a well made looking filter.
I know those 2.4 Hyundai/Kia engines spec 20wt. but do better on 30wt.
What I'm surprised about is running 10w30 rather than 5w30 in Pa. winter?

I’ve done it for eons when I had a 97’ Bonneville. Doubt it will hurt anything.

M&H Wix/Napa Gold has been known to make this application in S Korea for awhile. Kinda makes sense since M&H makes the Hyun/Kia OEM there.

While 3300 mi fci no torture test, agree "looks real good".

Thanks for c&p.

Looks good

It's not a knockoff. It is the actual OE filter reboxed. Mann is the OE supplier for this Hyundai/Kia filter, and the parent company of Wix. The Mann part number is W811/80.

Mann/Wix has been using a few different filters for this part number. Sometimes you get the Korean Mann, sometimes the regular Wix, and sometimes a Purolator design.

very solid.

Microguard at O'reiley have the same P/N as the Wix filters and are generally 3 buck a unit cheaper
O'reilley says they are made by Mann & Hummel

I need to go and cut the Auto Extra 10255 that had 14k on it. Off big boss’s traverse

I've also bought Mann W811/80 off rock auto that appears to be a similar design, for ~$4

Not quite exactly. The OEM has 5 holes. This and the Mann W811/80 has 6. So it’s more likely that filter. The insides look almost identical.

I agree but I usually run my 10w30 stash in summer and use the 0w30 or 5w30 in winter.

Looks like a perfect example of filter media spacing.
