2022 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid Oil Filter in Peoria, AZ

Yes—the oil filter is replaced at each oil change to keep the engine supplied with clean, filtered oil.

The filter traps debris the oil carries away; as it loads, a bypass valve opens so oil still flows but no longer gets filtered. That quiet shortcut can accelerate wear. Replacing the filter with the oil restores full filtration and helps maintain smooth performance and efficiency.

• Fresh filter media captures new debris immediately.
• Prevents bypass operation that sends unfiltered oil through the engine.
• Supports consistent oil pressure and protection after service.

The service includes removing the old filter, fitting a filter matched to this engine, renewing sealing surfaces, and leak-checking after a proper oil fill.

A technician drains the oil, replaces the filter and required sealing washer, installs the drain plug to proper tightness, and fills with the oil grade the manufacturer specifies. The engine is started and inspected for leaks at the filter and drain. Final checks confirm level and cleanliness before you leave.

• Filter matched to the 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine.
• Sealing gasket and drain washer renewed as required.
• Post-start leak check and final oil level verification.

The filter can load with debris, trigger the bypass valve, and let unfiltered oil circulate through the engine.

While the bypass prevents oil starvation, it also means contaminants are no longer captured, which can hasten internal wear. Over time, this may affect efficiency, noise levels, and longevity. Replacing the filter with each oil change preserves the protective oil film and consistent lubrication.

• Bypass flow equals oil without filtration.
• Increased abrasive contact on bearings and cam surfaces.
• Potential for sludge formation and reduced performance.

Yes—the filter is matched to the 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine and filters are not interchangeable across engines.

Correct fit ensures the gasket seals, the media provides the intended flow and capture, and the bypass valve operates as designed. Using a mismatched filter can compromise sealing or filtration. Your service advisor will install a filter matched to this engine and the oil grade the manufacturer specifies.

• Engine displacement: 1.6 liters; cylinders: 4 (inline).
• Filter chosen for proper fit, flow, and bypass function.
• Prevents leaks and maintains stable oil pressure.

It can be done, but it isn’t recommended because the loaded filter can force bypass operation and send unfiltered oil through the engine.

Changing oil while leaving a used filter keeps old debris in circulation and shortens the benefit of the fresh oil. Replacing the filter with the oil restores full filtration, supports pressure stability, and protects moving parts. Most service schedules pair the two for this reason.

• Old media may be near its capacity.
• Bypass valve flow means no filtration when it opens.
• Filter-and-oil together provide complete protection.
