HaHa, I hear ya. You should be in good shape though, that synthetic should clean that block up pretty well. For next time might I suggest you use the fram filter that is available. The Super-Tech works but I really don't like it and don't trust them.

Thats funny you should say that, your the only person Ive ever heard suggest a Fram...maybe they are different for the Elantra. But the SuperTech is actually a good filter for the price(2 bucks)...it uses a spring for the bypass valve not unlike the Mobile 1 filter. The SuperTech actually gets great reviews and Ive seen cut open filters and they are very compariable to other high quality filters.

Super-Tech gave me a bad experience that Fram doesn't. I used to use the Tech all the time, after I came back from boot-camp and started my car I had a dry start. It doesn't last long but isn't good and makes you want to scream when you hear it. Fram has a system that prevents you from having dry starts all together. In regards to the original statement, Super-Tech isn't all that bad, your car will not spontaneously combust if you use one I just have another preference I guess.

I would almost expect something like that after leaving the car sit for 4 months or more with no matter what filter you used.

No seriously I am not Bullshitting you. It happened after a week or so of not starting it up, my dad was firing it up every couple of days but was to busy to do so that week when I returned. That is when the dry start happened and it was my father that told me about the filter being the cause, it made sense to me.
