Whats the deal with the oil filter?
:confused: I just changed my oil and went to change the filter but the filter that is in the engine is 50% larger than the filter the dealer gave me.
Get this, the part number is the same on both filters. WTF? |

Explosion of part numbers and then consolidation with another set of part numbers before the old, new numbers had a chance to disappear. Maybe that's why they published the guide? |

The date on the pillar is May of 2008. It has a tall filter. Is that a 2009 vehicle? I bought a 2009. Did I take it in the shorts, er what?

Don't worry about production dates.
If the cap looks like this it takes the taller filter (26320-3C100): https://www.hyundaiforum.com/forum/a...r-pict0409-jpg If the cap looks like this it takes the shorter filter (26320-3C250): https://www.hyundaiforum.com/forum/a...1&d=1265947884 |
NovaResource: I think you may have forgotten to add the picture of the 26320-3C250 cap in your last post.
This is interesting information because I traded my 2007 in on a 2010 recently and haven't done an oil change on my 2010 yet. It looks like I'll be using a different filter in the new VC--the shorter 3C250. Does the OEM filter include the rubber o-rings or do they need to be purchased under separate part numbers? (I ran after-market filters in the 2007, which came with the o-rings, but I understand that there have been some issues reported with the filters and/or o-rings on some after-market filters.) Also, does anyone know if the torque on the 2010 drain bolt is the same as the 2007 (~29 lb-ft)?... Are the drain plugs the same on the VC across all years? Thanks. |
The OEM cartridge filters in the new silver box do have the o-ring set and a new aluminum crush washer included.

Anyone else not able to see the 2nd pic in my post above? |

If you view the page source, the pictures are hosted on different sites... First image (works): "http://xc5.xanga.com/253d0a76d4630103764506/m73268043.jpg" Second image (doesn't load): "https://www.hyundaiforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=204&stc=1&d=12 65947884" If I try to access the second image directly from the URL, I encounter "You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page." Once I changed the URL to this, it loads: "https://www.hyundaiforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=204&d=1265947884" ... https://www.hyundaiforum.com/forum/a...p;d=1265947884 |

Vera Cruz Oil Filters--Non OEM Cross References
For mid '08 and later Vera Cruz models, with the small oil filters, below is a list of non OEM filters that fit:
NAPA Gold FIL 7250 (made by WIX) WIX 57250 Purolator L25848 STP S10515 I have read good recommendations on the quality of WIX filters. Both O'Reilly Auto Parts and NAPA Auto Parts (house brand Gold filter) stock WIX filters. I ordered a six pack of WIX 57250's for $28.66 (that includes all shipping and taxes) from Discount Fleet Supply over the internet. This was very easy and cheaper ($4.78 per filter) than O'Rielly who quoted $6.29 plus tax. I got the filters very quickly (3 days). WIX filters come with 2 o-rings and a replacement washer for the plug. The filter appears to be very well made and fits perfectly. |
