With so many quotes in everyone's replies, I just got confused. I'm apologizing for this, you clearly didn't claim doing any research, it was someone else

OEM filters are very high quality and are cheap if you get them on Amazon or thru dealer connection in 6 or 10 packs.


Since you've done all this research what is the efficiency rating at 20 microns and the cost of those filters?
Please share this with us.


I didn't care about "the efficiency rating at 20 microns and the cost of those filters" but filter build and consistency with its components and reliability and durability.
As long as filter doesn't fail filtering oil and both valves open and close when they have to is all I needed.
Construction of those filters is very assuring.

The reason I went researching filters was not to waist my time, which is what I'm doing typing this for you right now, but 'cos there were too many people claiming Kia filters were great and I had to see it for myself whether it was substantiated or they were simply some loyal Kia fans.

Maybe if you had done 4 weeks worth of research you would know this info!

I wonder what kind of research you performed over three weeks to come to this conclusion?

I have nothing against Kia filters.
