Thanks for all the information and insight. Definitely going to look into 5-40 T6 for a single oil.

I have ran that in my diesel when I could not find Rotella. Seemed to run fine. I am concerned about using a -40 in the Hyundai through as it originally called for a -20 and due to mileage likes -30 now.

Once I run out of my oil supply, thinking of just getting Rotella T6 Multi Vehicle (MV) that is 5w-30 weight. I already run this oil in some of my vehicles/engines (2011 Hyundai 2.4, 2018 F150 2.7 EB, 38kw Generac w/ 2.4 Mitsubishi). These all call for 5w-30 or require it due to mileage. My...

2011 Hyundai Sonata 200,074 miles, 5k OCI Out/off- 5 qt 5w-30 Traveler + FVP oil filter + FVP air filter In/on - 5.5 qt 5w-30 Castrol HM + Wix ProTec oil filter + FVP air filter + Tire Rotation This is a $11.88 and 30 minute service for me.

I always ask them to scan prices for stuff on the clearance shelf. About 1/2 the time it is less than the tagged price.

Yep the new one. Jacked up layout in the store. You will spend 30 minutes trying to find anything.

It appears Castrol is losing the supplier battle at Tractor Supply and Home Depot. Tractor Supply is just starting to convert from Castrol to Valvoline in their stores (according to a store manager here in TX). I picked up Full Synthetic (FS) and High Mileage (HM) for $6.99/5qt jug and $1.49/qt...

Who knows. I removed my vent pipe from the grommet one day and probably 1/8 oz of water was trapped in the brass fitting. The next weekend the new breather was on.

I guess it was OP @SupremePossum that has the same engine. Either way, this breather setup would probably resolve your issue. These things are too expensive to have any moisture in the system.

Sorry for reviving this thread. @NormanBuntz I also had the milky oil situation on my Generac (38KW with the same engine). Previous owners put it in and for 2 years I monitored the water in the oil. I determined it was the crankcase vent that is open to the atmosphere as it connected to the...

kschachn, some of the articles/links you provided directly contradict the "you won't stip out" stating that most of the anit-foaming additives are in the 3-micron range. Yes, I agree that most of the commercial bypass systems filter poorly and are at best Beta 20 (in reality Beta 2) at the 1 or...

Thank you for the reply. I guess my search skills need some work. Will delete thread after a day or two.

I am going to be putting a bypass filter on my truck. I was given some filter heads and a myriad of mismatched hydraulic filters from a company that was cleaning out some old inventory. These are high end filters with a Beta rating of 1000 (some 2000, not that this really matters). What size...
