There isn’t a single oil filter number for all 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe models—the correct part depends on the engine installed (2.4L four-cylinder or 3.3L V6) and other specs. The exact number can be confirmed via VIN-based parts lookup or by checking the existing filter.
In more detail, the 2015 Santa Fe offered multiple powertrains. The non-Santa Fe Sport lineup used either a 2.4-liter inline-four or a 3.3-liter V6, each with its own oil filter design and part number. The Santa Fe Sport variants introduced different options such as a turbocharged engine, which also used its own filter reference. Because filter fitment changes with the engine family, the precise number must be matched to your vehicle’s engine type and VIN.
How to confirm the exact oil filter number
To ensure you get the right filter for your specific Santa Fe, follow these steps:
- Check the engine type and year on your vehicle (or in the owner's manual) to narrow down the possible filter designs.
- Inspect the oil filter you’ve removed for a stamped part number or manufacturer label that can be cross-referenced.
- Use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to look up the exact oil filter in Hyundai’s official parts catalog or a trusted retailer’s VIN lookup tool.
- If VIN access isn’t available, identify the engine code (for example, 2.4L I4 or 3.3L V6) and consult cross-reference charts from reputable aftermarket brands (Wix, Bosch, Mann, etc.) to confirm the compatible part number.
- When in doubt, call a Hyundai dealer parts department with your VIN for the precise number.
Following these steps will help you identify the precise oil filter number for your 2015 Santa Fe and avoid fitment issues.
Where to look up or buy the correct filter

Summary
For a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe, the oil filter number is not universal. It varies by engine (2.4L I4 or 3.3L V6, and Santa Fe Sport variants with different options). To get the exact part number, verify your engine type and VIN, consult the official Hyundai parts catalog, or use a trustworthy retailer’s VIN-based lookup. If you’d like, share your VIN or engine code and I can help pinpoint the exact OEM number.
