Not sure if I correctly understand your question, but...

All I can tell you is that the new Oil Filter for the 3.3L V6 engines on the 2019 models is different than the old filter. The circumference is the same, but the filter is shorter.

(The location for it on the new engine has also changed - it is now underneath the engine.)

Also, Hyundai and Kia use many of the (exact) same parts, so, compare for pricing. eBay often has good pricing (hey, I'm cheap).

I wonder if it is due to the new transmission.

 

I just changed my oil in my 2019 Sedona LX. The filter I purchased from the dealer was 26320-3CKB0 but the filter had written on it MAHLE 26330 3CKB0. The part numbers are a bit confusing.

 

So that should be because of the new filter housing, thanks for your prompt replies! Afterall, Im happy with having the old style its convenient to have the filter housing up here in the engine bay!
