2020 Hyundai Palisade Oil Filter in Peoria, AZ

Yes—the oil filter should be replaced at each oil change so fresh oil is protected from the first start.

As the filter loads with debris, its bypass valve opens and oil circulates unfiltered, which quietly increases engine wear. Replacing the filter with the oil keeps the lubrication system balanced and effective. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and your driving conditions when planning service.

• Fresh filter prevents unfiltered bypass during the next interval
• Ensures new oil isn’t contaminated by an old, saturated element
• Matches the service to the vehicle’s maintenance schedule

The service installs a new, engine-matched filter with a renewed seal, then verifies proper sealing and checks for leaks after the engine runs.

A technician removes the old filter, inspects and cleans the mounting base, lubricates the new gasket, and tightens the replacement filter to specification. After refilling with the oil grade the manufacturer specifies for this engine, the engine is warmed, oil pressure is confirmed, and the filter and drain plug areas are inspected. Old oil and the filter are recycled responsibly.

• Old filter removed; mounting surface cleaned and inspected
• New gasket/seal installed; filter torqued correctly
• Post-start leak check at filter and drain plug

The filter can load up, open its bypass valve, and circulate unfiltered oil that accelerates wear quietly over time.

Unchanged filters hold debris from prior intervals; once capacity is reached, the bypass allows oil to flow around the media. The engine keeps running but loses filtration, increasing the risk of abrasive particles reaching bearings and cam surfaces. Replacing the filter with the oil restores full protection and helps maintain long-term reliability.

• Bypass flow sends unfiltered oil through precision parts
• Debris accumulation can slow oil flow and raise pressure drop
• Long-term outcome: higher wear and potential sludge formation

Yes—the filter is matched to this 3.8‑liter, six‑cylinder engine, and filters are not interchangeable across engines.

Proper fit, sealing, and flow characteristics depend on the engine’s design. Using a filter specified for the 3.8L V6 ensures correct bypass function, media area, and thread/seal dimensions. Your technician will install a filter that meets the manufacturer’s requirements without guessing part numbers.

• Correct thread and gasket dimensions for a proper seal
• Bypass valve setting appropriate for this engine’s oiling system
• Media capacity sized for the 3.8L V6 service interval

It’s possible, but not recommended because a used filter can force unfiltered bypass flow and contaminate fresh oil.

Leaving an old filter in place means debris from the prior interval remains in the system, and a partially loaded element can reach bypass sooner. Replacing both together keeps the oil clean for the full interval. Follow the manufacturer’s schedule and your driving conditions for timing.

• Protects fresh oil from old trapped contaminants
• Reduces risk of early bypass on a partially loaded filter
• Maintains consistent filtration performance
