Design, materials, and performance

The filter media choices—premium synthetic or cellulose blends—are selected to balance airflow with filtration strength. This approach supports steady engine breathing, even as road conditions change. The rugged construction is built to resist collapse and maintain performance over the recommended service interval, providing a clear pathway for air to reach the engine without introducing unnecessary resistance.

Fitment and application

This filter is designed to fit a broad set of Hyundai and Kia models, including Elantra, Elantra GT, i40, i30 (including i30 II and III), Forte, Forte5, Carens, cee’d, Cerato, Cerato Koup, and K3. Always verify your exact year and trim to ensure a precise match, but many 2010–2019 Hyundai and Kia vehicles can benefit from this long-life option.

Installation and maintenance

Install quickly into the factory air box for a secure, plug-and-play fit. Under normal highway driving conditions, plan for an 18,000-mile replacement interval to maintain performance and filtration quality. Regular checks during service intervals can help ensure the seal remains intact and airflow stays consistent.
