I'm on a quest for an air filter for my '23 Santa Fe. I looked at a Fram at Walmart. My current filter has two little tabs that rotate after filter is inserted that I guess lock it in place. So the tabs on the Walmart Fram didn't have tabs that moved. So I moved on. Went to the dealer to get an OE filter. Counter guy asks me for VIN. I don't know VIN off hand, but tell him what vehicle it is. He can't just sell me a filter without VIN. I leave without checking my car for VIN because now I'm annoyed. Then I go to AZ and no Frams or Purolater there and I'm not familiar with STP quality. Then go to AA and again no Frams or Purolater. I've looked at so many that I'm now forgetting what I saw where. Anyway one of the stores had either an STP or Carquest that was oiled. I wasn't familiar with oiled filter outside of K&N, which I don't want. So are you guys familiar with ordinary non-performance type filters that are oiled? Are they supposed to be better? No problems with sensors? It looked like they placed this oiled filter as the better filter compared with the standard filter of the same brand. Can I buy the oiled filter with confidence?

Thanks for nay input.
 
i use the carquest red filters in all of the fleet vehicles i service, always a clean intake duct after 12k in dusty chemical plants/ pipeline ROW’s.

my accords get Fram Ultra air filters, truck has a carquest HD version of the donaldson 6637. haven’t had a problem with the carquest air filters at all. i have used some purolator air filters and they’re probably some of the best fitting air filters, just expensive.
 
I couldnt find a pic of the OE filter but this wix has these

You have two choices for an air filter. You have either the 1.6 liter hybrid engine or the 2.5 liter engine in either normally aspirated or turbocharged. The 2.5 engines use the same part number so you essentially have only two choices for part numbers.

If you have a 2.5 then just go on-line and order some filters from a on-line Hyundai dealer. It looks like you want part number 28113-L1000 and it will cost you $20 plus shipping.

It's foolishness to require a VIN to make a purchase of a completely common maintenance item. My local Hyundai dealership parts department doesn't accept cash so naturally they don't get any of my digital currency either. Order your parts from more accommodating sources and let the cards fall where they may.

Sure. I have two. One has ~120K miles and the other ~70K. Both engines run fine with minimal oil consumption. Probably saved buying 2+ filters each. Ignore the hyperventilating about oiled filters, do your own research.

I'll take the advice of the car manufacturers and not use oiled filters Thank-You.
 
VIN is easily visible from outside in the bottom driver side corner of the windshield, take a pic with your phone and show it at parts counter.
No need to buy OEM either, places like Rock Auto have good filters and cheaper, buy 2 or 3 and whatever else you will need in next 2 years like cabin air filters. If you do other maintenance yourself, oil filters, PCV, brake fluid etc may come in handy.
 
OP here. I took a chance and stopped in a different AA than I had gone to before. They didn't have Fran Titanium or Purolater One in my size, but they did have a Carquest which I took. Didn't notice it was made in China until I got home. But it looks good and has the same number of pleats (18) as the original Hyundai filter. So the search is over and this Carquest is not oiled.

I also know that I could have gotten the VIN from my car, but I was annoyed that the dealer couldn't get me the correct filter without the VIN. All of these other aftermarket filters are bought without VINs. Just seemed silly to me to require the VIN.

Our Hyundai has a filter like that. The OEM setup has little BS cam lobes that rotate to lock the filter into place and seal it. Except they don't.
Got the wix replacement. It just jams in there and takes up all the wiggle room the OEM filter had and the wix doesn't have any moving parts.
I also sprayed it down with k&N air filter oil.

Your car registration has the VIN on it. That's all they need.

So does Insurance card. At least mine does. Also could take take a photo of VIN in door jamb or dash plate. Common practice to ask for the VIN nowadays. I didnt like it either but came to accept it.
