If it's quality you want, then get a NAPA gold filter. It's got twice the capacity, and finer filtration. If you want an ordinary filter which is good for most applications, then a Walmart Supertech works just fine.

The only filters I use other than Hyundai OEM are Purolator (the regular one, not the PureOne version) or Wix filters from NAPA.

I buy the cheap Wall-mart Fram PH9688, 6$,
and it work fine.
Don't forget it need a retaining valve to prevent oil to drop to the pan !

Personally, I avoid Fram filters at all cost. They tend to be more restrictive than most.

The Hyundai filters for 1.6L are like the old Festiva OEM filters for the 1.3L. They have a special high pressure differential bypass opening valve, ~20 psi IIRC. Most aftermarket ones will not have this.
