Yes—the oil filter is replaced at each oil change so fresh oil is not pushed through a loaded filter.

The filter traps debris the oil carries away; as it fills, restriction rises and the bypass valve opens. When bypassed, the engine still gets oil, but it is no longer filtered, which quietly increases wear. That’s why the manufacturer pairs a new filter with fresh oil on the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

• Fresh filter restores full filtration capacity.
• Prevents unfiltered oil from recirculating after bypass.
• Maintains stable pressure and flow characteristics.

The used filter is removed, sealing surfaces are renewed, a matched new filter is installed, and the engine is leak‑checked after refill and start‑up.

During a complete oil and filter service, the old oil is drained, the filter base is cleaned, the new gasket is lightly oiled, and the filter is tightened to spec. Fresh oil—of the grade the manufacturer specifies—is added, the engine is run, and a final inspection confirms no seepage at the filter or drain.

• Correct filter for this engine installed.
• Gasket and base cleaned and resealed.
• Post‑start leak check performed.

The filter can load up and trigger its bypass valve, sending unfiltered oil through the engine and increasing wear over time.

A saturated filter no longer traps particles effectively. The bypass keeps oil flowing to protect against starvation, but contaminants recirculate into bearings, camshafts, and the turbocharger. Replacing the filter with each oil change safeguards clearances and helps maintain consistent performance.

• Bypass means oil flow without filtration.
• Recirculated debris accelerates component wear.
• Timely filter changes prevent silent damage.

Yes—the filter is matched to this 1.6‑liter inline 4‑cylinder engine, and filters are not interchangeable across engines.

Correct fit ensures the right media area, bypass setting, and sealing dimensions. Using an incorrect filter risks leaks, poor filtration, or improper flow. At service, your 2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid receives a filter designed for its engine so the lubrication system functions as intended.

• Engine‑matched sealing and bypass calibration.
• Proper media size for debris holding capacity.
• Prevents fitment and leak issues.

It can be done, but it’s not recommended because a partially loaded filter can quickly bypass and send unfiltered oil through the engine.

Skipping the filter leaves old contaminants trapped in the media and can contaminate fresh oil on first start. The small savings are outweighed by the risk of accelerated wear. Pairing new oil with a new filter keeps filtration capacity aligned with the oil’s service life.

• Old filter can contaminate fresh oil.
• Bypass risk rises as media loads.
• Best practice: replace filter every oil change.
