The 2017 Hyundai Elantra generally uses Hyundai’s standard oil filter, with the exact part depending on the engine. For most 2.0-liter models, the OEM filter is 26300-35550; the 1.6-liter turbo variant can use a different number. Always verify with your vehicle’s VIN or the dealer to be certain.
Engine variants in the 2017 Elantra
Hyundai offered more than one engine option in 2017, so the oil filter is not universal across all trims. The two main engines are the 2.0-liter four-cylinder and, in certain trims, a 1.6-liter turbo. The correct filter depends on which engine your car has, as well as production specifics for your market.
2.0-liter engine (most trims)
The Hyundai OEM oil filter for the 2.0-liter engine is 26300-35550. If you’re shopping for aftermarket options, the following cross-references are commonly used for this engine:
Before listing the cross-references, note that these filters are widely used with the 2.0L Elantra and often cross-check with the OEM spec:
- Wix 57060
- Bosch 3330
- Fram PH7317
Conclusion: These aftermarket filters typically fit the 2.0L Elantra’s oil filter housing, but always confirm compatibility with your exact vehicle year and market before purchasing.
1.6-liter turbo engine
For the 1.6-liter turbo variant, the filter number can differ from the 2.0L, so it’s essential to confirm the exact OEM part for your car. A commonly cited approach is to verify the dealer-specified number for your VIN; aftermarket cross-references are similar to the turbo’s requirements in many cases.
Before listing the cross-references, note that turbo models may require a slightly different filter specification; use the VIN or parts catalog to confirm the right part:
- Wix 57060
- Bosch 3330
- Fram PH7317
Conclusion: While aftermarket options like Wix, Bosch, and Fram often cross-reference successfully for turbo models, double-check the exact OEM number for your build to avoid mismatches.
How to confirm the right filter for your car
To ensure you buy the correct filter, use your vehicle identification number (VIN) or consult Hyundai’s official parts catalog. Steps include:
- Check the owner’s manual or service booklet for the recommended filter part number.
- Enter your VIN on Hyundai’s parts site or ask a dealer to pull the exact part for your car’s engine and production date.
- Compare the base thread size and overall filter shape with the filter you plan to buy, ensuring it matches the housing and gasket.
- When in doubt, ask a trusted mechanic or parts counter with your VIN to confirm compatibility.
Conclusion: VIN-based verification is the most reliable way to guarantee the correct filter for a specific 2017 Elantra, given that engine variants and production changes can affect part numbers.
Summary
The 2017 Hyundai Elantra typically uses the standard oil filter, with the main OEM part for the 2.0-liter engine being 26300-35550. Turbo variants may require a different number, so confirm with the VIN or dealer. Common aftermarket cross-references (Wix, Bosch, Fram) are often compatible, but it’s best to verify exact fitment for your vehicle’s engine and production date. Always replace the filter with a quality part and follow the manufacturer’s service intervals to protect the engine.
