There isn’t a single universal oil filter number for the 2015 Sonata; it depends on the engine. The two gasoline engines offered that year use different filters, so you should verify the specific part number for your car’s engine and VIN.
Engine options in the 2015 Sonata
Which engine your car has determines the correct filter. Here are the general options you might find on a U.S.-market 2015 Sonata.
- 2.4-liter gasoline engine (Nu family)
- 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine
In both cases, Hyundai uses a dedicated oil filter element tailored to that engine, and the exact part number can vary by region and production run.
How to determine the exact oil filter number for your vehicle
The precise number can be confirmed using official sources or your vehicle’s identifiers.
- Inspect the current oil filter for a stamped part number or label.
- Check the Hyundai official parts catalog or the dealership's parts lookup using your vehicle's VIN and engine code.
- Consult your owner's manual or service manual for the recommended filter part number.
- If in doubt, contact a Hyundai dealership or a qualified automotive technician with your VIN.
Using VIN-based lookups is the most reliable way to ensure you get the correct filter, especially since some markets used slightly different part numbers or supplier variants.
Summary
For a 2015 Hyundai Sonata, the oil filter number is not universal. Confirm the exact part number by referencing your engine type, VIN, and regional catalog. When in doubt, a dealer or trusted parts retailer can provide the precise Hyundai OEM number for your car.
