Who is sticking with these and who is blowing it off? I know there's a TSB out to use only Kia oil filters, but I call BS.
90% of owners who haven't seen the TSB are in all likelihood getting their oil changed at their favorite mechanic or at the quick oil change places.
I'd like to use a Bosch or Purolator, but so far have used only the Kia filter...entirely for warranty purposes. But, in reality, an owner couldn't be denied warranty based on the TSB because Kia has not mailed it out to each owner, but merely made it available to their dealers and technicians.
Thoughts?... or experiences with non OEM oil filters?
