Pennzoil Platinum 0W20. Hoping to see some Aftermarket kits available soon. The OEM Filter is made in Korea. Looks like an AC Delco E-Core Series. Plastic Ends and Tube

 

I Ordered one through my job. An API Brand. Hopefully it will show up this week. Then I can compare to what I saw of the Hyundai Kit. And it only costs about half the price. Wish Bosch offered one. I prefer their filters.

On another note, Almost 3k Miles. So far so good. Only thing I noticed is a Buildup of Dirt on the L/R Caliper. Emanating from Bottom of the pad. Hasn't gotten any worse. Clay color sticks out on a Silver Caliper Bridge. MPGs are Averaging about 32-33. Live in NJ. Starting to get cold out in the mornings now.

 

I‘d be interested in knowing how the API filter compares to OEM. I have a 22 N-line and went with the OEM for 1000 mile change because there were few if any other options. Will definitely be good when there are more cartridge-type options available for the Kona.

 

Arrived today. Looks like the OEM Filter Kit. Except states Made in China on it. My Employee Price was under $13. Wonder if its made by the same company that makes the AC Delco E-Core filters??

 

Why does everyone change their oil so frequently? I thought the first service is 4k miles. Just double check handbook, it said that. Why only 1,480 miles and already change oil?

 

Me? I change my Oil usually at 1 to 1.5K Miles. Then at 5k. And Every 5k afterwards. I worked for New Car Dealerships. Cars usually have a lot of Short trips. I do it to get rid of any Dirt from the frequent Starts and Stops before I take ownership. It's Cheap Insurance. As I have Never had an Engine Failure in 30 years of Driving.

 

Do you think that is too much? Can I do like every 5k? I drive in the city which is considered as a severe condition. And daily, I think I just drive 3 miles oneway.

 

Just keep an eye on the Oil Condition. See what works for you. Hyundai gives one every 7500 Miles. I still do my own.

Talking about "Dirt from the frequent Starts and Stops". Do you think we should turn off ISG? I turn it off all the time since I am afraid of the starter broken and more friction to the engine.

Me neither, but I have had my oil changed every 10K miles for the last 15 years.

 

I am Old School. The 5k Mile Oil and Filter changes work for me. As I only have to do it twice a year.

 

I just purchased a 2023 Kona SEL back in January. I have a little over 5k miles on it right now and my recommended service interval is 8,000 miles, but my oil percentage is at 15% even though I just put 2 quarts in it this past weekend. Is the percentage accurate or is it just based on a timeline? And should I have had service at around 4,000 miles? I saw there was a 4,000 mile service package available, but no one really explained the service intervals to me when I got it, so I just assumed my first one wouldn't be until 8,000. Or is that just when the complimentary service kicks in? Thanks.

 

Call the Dealer. Ask them if they will perform it under the Agreement. Why are you Adding 2 Qts oil at 5k Miles? I have Never had to add that much oil in any of my cars.

 

I only added oil since I thought it was getting low... I was checking the settings and it said my oil level was at 15% and I kept getting service reminders coming up on the dash saying service was due even though the interval was set to 8000 miles in the settings. Maybe it's coming up on being a year since it was manufactured? But even after I added the oil, it still says 15%, so I'm thinking it doesn't actually detect the oil level and is just based on some kind of algorithm of what should be used in a given amount of time? And I don't mind paying for the 4000 mile package if it's not covered, I just don't know if it would be worth it? Thank you!

Oil Level or Oil Life?? There is a Difference. I work Retail Auto Parts. I see customers mix them up all the time.

 

Ugh, I could have sworn it said level, but sounds like it is life since it seems to be based on the number of miles driven since the last oil change. My husband did say that the level and color of the oil looked good before I added the 2 quarts, so do you think I added too much...? I really don't want to destroy the engine :-( And should I get the 4000 mile service and just pay for it or should I be all right until 7000 miles? I can get the complimentary one done within 1000 miles of the recommended service of 8000. And I swear my service interval was 7500 when I first got it and it changed to 8000 based on my "driving habits" but the 15% oil life would make more sense with the original 7500 interval. If I can make it to 7000, I will get an oil change every 4000 or 5000 miles from then on after that.

 

Hi all. Have 1480 Miles on mine. Did the First Oil and Filter change this morning. Had to use a Hyundai Filter Kit. As Aftermarket is not available to me. Took Almost the Entire 5Qt bottle of Pennzoil 0w20. SEL 2.0 AWD.

Tools I needed:
17mm Ratcheting Wrench Oil Drain
8mm Allen Socket Filter Drain
27mm Oil Filter Housing Socket
3/8" Ratchet and 6" Extension.
Small pick to remove O-Ring
Jack, Stands and Wheel Chocks

.Filter Kit came with New O-Ring, Drain Washer and Filter Plug.

Hope this Helps

Hello Tucsonmax. Since you've already done an oil/filter change on your '22 2.0 Kona, got a few procedural questions for you as I get my ducks in a row before my 1st change on my '23 2.0 Kona (which has same cartridge-type oil filter specs):
1. Under the vehicle - are there any access covers (plastic, metal or otherwise) that need to be removed to access the engine oil pan drain plug or oil filter?
2. Oil filter housing - it calls for a 27mm socket to remove the plastic housing but was wondering if you (or anybody else) have successfully used a 1-1/16th inch 6-point socket to remove/re-install it (1-1/16th inch = 26.9875 mm, a hair undersized). My '18 Ford F150 with 2.7l Ecoboost also calls for a 27mm socket to remove its oil filter housing and I've routinely used my 1-1/16th inch socket successfully. Yeah I know a new 27mm socket ain't that much $ but if I don't need it why buy it?

Also FWIW - I ordered the correct Service Kit - Oil Filter for my '23 2.0L from HyundaiPartsDeal (p/n 26350-2J000) but received p/n 26350-2J001. I was initially PO'd but then discovered the Hyundai TSB 23-EM-001H addressing the packaging issue with earlier/smaller filter housing drain plugs sometimes becoming lodged in the cartridge filter inside the box. The 2J001 filter housing drain plug definitely does have a larger 'flange' on it that prevents it from accidentally getting lodged in the cartridge filter.

 

1: No Covers

2: I have a set of Lisle Oil Filter Cap sockets. They're only in Metric. Have not tried 1 1/16" socket.

I don't know what you are referring to about the Filter Drain Plug. I used the New one that came with the Filter Kits. Dealer did my last one at 15k. I do mine every 5k. This time I let Hyundai Pay for it.

 

I changed mine a couple of times. Never had an issue with the Aftermarket parts.
