Has anyone ever heard about PRO TEC 152 oil filter?

I just went for an oil change and the dealer installed this filter.
Is it normal?

For years I was taught and I taught others to use Hyundai/KIA filters only. Yet, KIA dealer gives me that...


I know it is a direct replacement, but the question is whether this oil filter meets OEM filter specs.

I agree that the WIX is a top brand filter manufacturer, and it should be all good as long as the specific requirements such as relief pressure and anti-return valve are met.

I have not. However, a few times when I used our "lifetime oil change" service they used a Napa house brand as far as I remember as well as bulk oil. When I called them back to complain they said they ran out of Kia filters. When I talked to a service department employee he said they routinely used bulk oil and after-market filters in order to save money or sometimes when they run out of stock, depending. We were under warranty at the time. Interesting how Kia can sub parts but we can't. :)
