There's no reason for the canister type filters to be more expensive than
spin-on filters. In fact, they should be a little cheaper than spin-on's as
the aftermarket filters come on line.

Nothing we can do about the 6 quart capacity. It makes it real expensive to
use synthetic. I guess more oil capacity improves engine cooling slightly
and perhaps makes the oil retains its lubricating properties a tad longer.

DOes taking your car to a non-hyundai place void the warrenty? I have been
taking my car to walmart for oil changes, and I have never had a problem
with them! I also dont remember reading anywhere that using a non-hyundai
oil filter will void the warrenty.. But it does say that use of hyundai
transmission fluid is mandatory!
I have had my 2002 accent for 4 years, and have 61k on it with out any
issued, and using Walmart oil changes and what ever filter type they use

Somethings just come around again and again. My '54 Chevy had a canister
type oil filter. Pain in the butt to change. Had to use a turkey baster to
suck out the oil left in there. You old farts will remember them. )

'I took my 2006 Sonata to the dealer this morning for the first oil
change since I bought the car. Fortunately this was a freebie in that
this was included when I bought the car, but the cost for the oil change
would have been $39.79 They also wanted to charge an additional $25
for a multi-point inspection to check the condition of belts, brakes,
lights, hoses etc. which I refused to pay for. Have any of you had a
similair experience with this type of pricing? '

REPLY: Dealers have an enormous overhead and charge accordingly. If
you dont want to do the oil changes yourself which is always the best
way...then take your car to Lube Pros or Jiffy Lube. Youll save about
$10 on the oil change and theyll check belts,hoses, air filter,
etc...for nothing.

I always use a local repair shop that I have been using over 15 years
with the exception of the first oil change done at the dealer or if
traveling out of town and the mileage between oil changes is getting
too high. I am not familiar with Lube Pros but I have used Jiffy Lube
once and will never go back. All of their fluids come out of the same
nozzle, and in fact if your brake fluid is down they can't even top it
off because of problems they had several years ago with the brake
fluid being contaminated by mixing with other fluids. They also tried
to sell me parts that were not needed (air filter, PCV, and even wiper
blades) just to bring up the total sale.
