NOTICE ANYTHING ?

Wow really? Come on the whole counterfeit Hyundai/Kia oil filter is way overblown because of a Russian youtube channel. It looks exactly like the ones I got from the Kia dearler but those must be fakes too. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill.
No, was overblown by Hyundai with their video comparing the OE filter to known knock-offs

The video isn't available anymore but maybe someone can find the archive of it... this is the old link.
 
"The 05 is an update of the 04....they are the same filter..."
Why supersede a number if no change was made?
Likely nothing dire but something happened or was changed internally.
 
Nothing to worry about. I purchased a Hyundai filter a few years back and the box had 03 as the last 2 digits.I opened the box and it had 04 as the last 2 digits. The filter was purchased at the dealership. I questioned the parts person about it. She said it happened quite often because, the manufacturer had leftover boxes and new filters.
 
It's a joke I carried over from gun forums. Guess it didn't translate onto here.
It didn't translate here because some people actually think some filters don't have enough or big enough holes. Comes up more than you'd think.
 
Was this filter made in the DMZ? No such country of Korea on any map in my lifetime. Same thing as the European Union. COO is important and required by the FTC. Guess, technicalities are allowed....
 
What is the main difference between the counterfeit Chinese part and the real Chinese part being sold at walmart? Different production line?
Just like the counterfeit tennis shoes and designer purses from Korea. They're shipped at night time when the inspector is off duty or part of the conspiracy. Or maybe I watch too many Korean dramas.
