quote from above "they cannot void the vehicle's warranty simply because you have installed an after market air filter."So does this also apply to oil filters ?
•Ensure that the vehicle is serviced in accordance with our specified service schedule and that only genuine Hyundai supplied parts are fitted.
It is a restraint of trade to prohibit the use of non genuine parts on a vehicle, so they can say that all they want, but it wont hold up in court.Further to void the warranty they need to prove that the non genuine part was responsible for the fault.
But not in the UK. It's only in recently years you didn't have to get the service done by an approved dealer.
I also agree that there is no way filter can let more air pass and have better filtration. Plus, theres that "thing" about MAF sensor going dead from oil.My thoughts, you put high-flow air filter in front bumper to protect it from and significant dust/garbage particles, and those little that pass through are reduced to nothing in turbine or even if they pass to chamber they are melted away. Some say oil can have that dust particles and then act like polishing agent to parts which is bad, but regular oil replacement will correct that too. Then again, ofc you in Australia will have slightly more to think about with desert sand going on then me in dry city.MAF senor issue. Well, for example, MAF sensor die all the time on Accent (X3 model i think), and all of them have factory filters! Then again, MAF sensor is not constructed to last for eternity, and lets say you get at 50.000km CAI with ofc oiled filter, and at the 70.000km your MAF is dead. You blame CAI, thats very much open for debate, since yes it can be oil, but it can be simply that MAF is dead since it always die like from 70.000-90.000km.You have people saying "dont do that oil kills FOR SURE". I ask them, did you washed your filter and let it dry for 24hours??? Did you then oiled it CORRECTLY by which i mean atleast minimal required amount of oil and not just soaked it in to be sure??? Then did you let it dry for another 24hours??? Total=48hours of work for this filter, i am ready to bet 99% of them did not do that!! And what you get from filter soaked in oil when you floor it? -ofc a lot of extra oil all over the place including MAF. I believe K&N even tho they'll sell their mothers for high profit when they say do it right and no problem!Replacing stock filter with K&N panel filter will do exactly nothing. You still have reduced flow from silencers and like 1000 curves in intake.CAI will improve something for sure! But having CAI without engine tuning is waste of time and money-in that case i believe it wont do a thing/just like the exhaust. Tune engine with either chip or tuning box for 20% which is highly recommended percentage THEN go with CAI. Then there is no doubt about gains...some gain few HP, some few extra mileage at highway, some better response, and some (like me) gain insanely good torque diagram. Most of you have seen our HBT dude work, also he has done like 50 other hyundais and every single one gained something from CAI (i repeat, first is a engine tuning since ECU factory delivered blocks all)Any CRDi must have atleast tuning+cai+exhaust...and thats not for racing, thats just for having truly great working, high mileage, epic drive diesel.Sry for my noel and bad english and not to be able to say all that shortly
i would be bloody careful with them...people tend to 'over oil' them and stuff their AFM up... the oil contaminates the wire in there and causes the engine to think its lean, thus putting more fuel in...
