Re: 2006 Sonata oil filter
I went to a local oil change facility which charged an extra $10
because this was a cartridge filter. They used a real Hyundai filter
by the way.

My inner redneck says we need a remote oil filter assembly for these
cars pronto, or an adapter... Can't beat a good ol' $2.50 Motorcraft
FL1A. I'll mention this to my friend, he specializes in these sorts of
things... (aluminum/brass/copper/etc casting/finishing)
Plus, who wants to get their fingers all dirty, or have *that much*
opportunity to introduce something abrasive to the 'clean' side of the
oil filter housing? The world abandoned cartridge style filters for a
reason...
Oh well, I'm sure its some environmental boob that came up with this.
If you *really* want to deal with the problem figure out a profitable
way to recycle cartridge filters - this would fix the problem with new
and old cars alike.
Then again, theres a reason why anybody can buy R134A and its a serious
pain in the **** (or a vacation to Mexico, which leads to the ****-pain)
to get R12 - and it has very little to do with the ozone layer... :|

Re: 2006 Sonata oil filter
Yea, you all are correct. I was talking about the 4 cylinder. When the
dealer showed me the cartridge for the 6 cylinder, all I could think of was
my 1954 Chevy that had a cartridge filter!!!!! Talk about a step backwards.
Those were a pain in the ****, for sure. First thing you need is a cooking
baster to get the oil out of the housing, I guess. What a messy job! Now
I'm glad I have a 4 cylinder. You may beat me off the line (like I care),
but I'll beat you out of the Oil Change Lane. )
Take care,

Actually, it all drains down as soon as you open the lid. No mess at all!
Now, as soon as Advance Auto gets their act together and starts selling the
Purolator L35610, we'll start paying $4.00 a filter. You can get them to
order it, but there's a $10.00 per filter shipping charge.

Tom, you couldn't be more wrong!! It is much easier, and faster, than
crawling under the car, perhaps needing to squeeze in a filter wrench,
having a mess of oil drip down on you, then getting the new filter,
squeezing a bead of oil on the gasket, crawling back under and putting the
filter on.
I bet it takes me half the time, with less than half of the muscle work.
And the canister completely drains when you pull the oil drain plug. Just
remove the cartridge, put in a new one with two new O-rings, and screw on
the cover. Done.

Tom, you couldn't be more wrong!! It is much easier, and faster, than
crawling under the car, perhaps needing to squeeze in a filter wrench,
having a mess of oil drip down on you, then getting the new filter,
squeezing a bead of oil on the gasket, crawling back under and putting the
filter on.
I bet it takes me half the time, with less than half of the muscle work.
And the canister completely drains when you pull the oil drain plug. Just
remove the cartridge, put in a new one with two new O-rings, and screw on
the cover. Done.

I'm with you, Tom. I'm very happy with the four-cylinder. We'll also
save on spark plugs, plug wires, coils, etc. And I don't think the V-6
will beat me off the line. It might beat me after 30 MPH, but the 4
pulls pretty good off the line if I rev it enough! If you compare the
performance numbers (I posted a link to them some time ago), the V-6 has
a very minor performance advantage over the four. I'm guessing the
extra weight it carries and different gearing probably account for most
of it.
