Overview
Hyundai Elantra oil filter plays a critical role in maintaining engine lubrication stability.
For this reason, Hyundai specifies precise filtration standards for this component.
The filter supports consistent oil flow while trapping harmful contaminants.
As a result, internal engine components receive cleaner lubrication during operation.
Vehicle Compatibility and Applications
Hyundai applies this oil filter across multiple Elantra generations.
Typical vehicles include Hyundai Elantra models produced between 2011 and 2018.
Moreover, these vehicles commonly use petrol engines.
Engine displacements usually range from 1.6L to 2.0L.
In addition, this filter aligns with Hyundai compact sedan platforms from the same period.
Material and Structural Design
The filter housing uses corrosion-resistant steel.
Therefore, the exterior maintains strength under oil pressure and temperature changes.
A precision-threaded metal base ensures secure installation.
At the same time, the sealing surface supports stable contact with the engine block.
This construction promotes reliable fitment during repeated service cycles.
Filtration Stability and Engine Protection
Oil circulation depends on stable filtration performance.
For this reason, the filter supports consistent oil pressure during cold starts.
As a result, engine wear reduces over extended service intervals.
Moreover, stable filtration helps protect bearings, camshafts, and valve train components.
This balance supports predictable engine performance in daily driving conditions.
OE Reference Integration
Hyundai assigns OE number 26300-35505 to this oil filter.
In addition, interchangeable references include 26300-35504 for compatible engines.
These OE numbers confirm application across several Elantra configurations.
However, vehicle-specific verification remains recommended before installation.
Maintenance and Replacement Guidance
Engine oil degrades over time and mileage.
Therefore, technicians replace oil filters during every scheduled oil change.
Most Hyundai service schedules recommend replacement every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers.
As a result, regular filter replacement supports long-term engine reliability.
Service intervals should always follow official Hyundai maintenance guidelines.
Installation and Fitment Notes
This oil filter installs directly onto factory mounting threads.
Moreover, original sealing surfaces remain unchanged.
No modification to surrounding components is required.
Consequently, installation remains simple for professional technicians.
