For a few more $ , I would go for the OEM Hyundai filter. Its got more filtering media

Thanks Chris. I'll check this out.

It doesn't get too cold. I'm in Niagara area and vehicle is kept in garage. Unless I take it out, car gets short tripped by my wife. I was looking at Pennzoil Euro 0w30 but has no approval and API SN.

Sorry. I mean ESP Euro.

Only 0w Mobil XP I see is 0w30 in quarts or litre bottles for over $18. That's what we have in Canada. The Mobil 1 XP 5w30 is available in 5 l jugs and is available on sale for $40 every so often.

I could. Only available in 5w30. Thought of going back to 0w20 for winter months ahead. Manual calls for either 0w20 or 0w30. It's my wife's vehicle and it's start and go for her. I think the 0w will be better for flow.

I've got Mobil 1 esp 5w30 (BMW LL 04) API SP in this past spring and summer. I want to go back to 0w20 this winter. I found Castrol Edge Euro 0w20 with BMW LL 17 approval in quarts only. 5 QTS will cost over $100 with tax.

My interest is in the BMW LL 17 fe+ 0w20 spec. Very hard to find and to order will be around $70 cdn.

I think there is no difference between Euro C5/6 0w20 oil and ILSAC API SP. I see VOA on both and can't seem to find any difference. I know the 30 grade Euro oil has a HT/HS of 3.5 vs 3 but the 20 seems the same. Any thoughts?

I remember B/A gas stations in the 60's . My dad used to get his gas at B/A. I remember the Veedol name. It was a popular oil in the past.

I went with Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 in my wife's 2018 BMW X1 with the B48 engine. It has the LL-04 spec approval.

Check your manual again. It's either 0w20 BMW LL 17 or 0w30 BMW LL 01 Fe. BMW LL 01 is for top up. This is if you are under warranty. After warranty, any 5w30 or 0w30 that meets BMW LL 01 or BMW 04 will be good.

I'll check tomorrow.
