Hyundai H100 Filters
Whether your H100 is an early or late build, we match the filters to your derivative rather than to the badge. Find quality Hyundai H100 breaker yard at our facility.
What Are Hyundai H100 Filters?
Your Hyundai runs four filters and they are the cheapest insurance in the category: the oil filter, which traps particles as small as 25 microns before they reach the bearings; the air filter; the fuel filter, which stands between contaminated fuel and the injection system; and the cabin filter. The useful thing to know about Hyundai filter fitment is that it follows the engine family rather than the model, so one filter often covers several cars in the range — and occasionally two derivatives of the same model take different ones. Give us the engine code and it is settled in seconds.
Where South Africa changes the picture is dust and fuel. Gravel and dry-season dust load an air filter far faster than any service interval assumes, and fuel picked up at a rural pump can carry water and sediment that goes straight for the highest-pressure parts of a CRDi or T-GDi injection system. On those engines the fuel filter is not a service-book box to tick; it is what stands between the tank and the most expensive components on the car. If you are in there anyway, doing the set rather than the one is usually the cheaper decision.

H100 Filters: what actually decides fitment
Sold here across Porter, Porter II and the H100 bakkie, the H100 is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.Dropside, tipper and canopy conversions mean the load body is frequently not standard, so load-bed and rear-body parts have to be matched to the conversion rather than to the model.
- 1
Find the generation code on your H100 — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The H100 ran the 2.5 and 2.6 diesels as badged on the SA derivatives in this market.
- 3
Send both to us with the filters you are after , along with the engine code off the block or VIN plate, and whether the car is petrol or CRDi diesel. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the H100no Kia equivalent — a dedicated light-commercial cab-over platform — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the H100 is mostly small-business transport that is loaded to its limit daily, which is why clutch, driveline and front-suspension parts dominate demand rather than trim or electronics. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Before You Order H100 Filters
Will filters from another H100 fit mine?
Not automatically. The H100 sold in South Africa as Porter, Porter II and the H100 bakkie, and dropside, tipper and canopy conversions mean the load body is frequently not standard, so load-bed and rear-body parts have to be matched to the conversion rather than to the model. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
How do you check filters actually fits a H100?
We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the H100 specifically, dropside, tipper and canopy conversions mean the load body is frequently not standard, so load-bed and rear-body parts have to be matched to the conversion rather than to the model.
What are the filters in a car and what do they do?
Every Hyundai has four main filters: the cabin filter (removes dust, pollen and pollutants from air entering the interior), oil filter (traps contaminants in engine oil protecting components), fuel filter (prevents debris from reaching the injection system) and air filter (ensures clean air for combustion in Gamma, T-GDi and CRDi engines). Each filter protects specific systems and requires replacement at different service intervals to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
How much do car filters cost in South Africa?
Hyundai filter costs vary by type and model: air filters range from R250 to R600, oil filters cost R150 to R450, fuel filters run R400 to R1,200 (especially for CRDi diesel models) and cabin filters range from R300 to R800. If you have filters replaced at a Hyundai dealer during a service, expect labour costs of R500 to R1,500 depending on complexity, though air and cabin filters are often DIY-friendly.
How do you know if your car filter is bad?
Signs of a bad filter depend on type: a clogged air filter causes poor acceleration and increased fuel consumption; a blocked oil filter triggers the oil pressure warning light or causes engine knocking; a dirty fuel filter leads to rough idling, hesitation, or starting problems; and a saturated cabin filter results in weak airflow, window fogging, or unpleasant odours. In SA's dusty conditions, filters may need replacement more frequently than standard service intervals suggest.
How often should I replace filters on my Hyundai in South Africa?
Standard intervals are: air filter every 20,000-30,000 km, oil filter at every oil change (10,000-15,000 km), fuel filter every 40,000-60,000 km for diesel or 80,000 km for petrol and cabin filter every 15,000-20,000 km. However, South African conditions—particularly dusty Highveld roads, gravel travel, or coastal salt air—often require more frequent replacement, sometimes reducing intervals by 30-40% for optimal protection of T-GDi and CRDi engines.
Can I replace Hyundai filters myself or do I need a dealer?
Air and cabin filters are typically DIY-friendly requiring only basic tools and 15-20 minutes, saving you labour costs of R300-R600. Oil filters should be replaced during oil changes, which many owners prefer having done professionally to ensure proper disposal and correct oil specification for Gamma or U-line CRDi engines. Fuel filters, especially on CRDi models with high-pressure systems, are best replaced by trained technicians as they require bleeding procedures and proper handling to avoid contamination.

Let us confirm the filters before you buy
Photos of the old part and your VIN are usually all we need. We confirm the filters against your H100 before quoting, not after.
