I found this video that shows how most additives just dilute your good base oil.

Wow ZeeOSix you maybe right on the 100k warranty, I hadn't thought of that. They could spin it that way I suppose. Thanks!

I agree with the above posts! Watching all these different engine tear downs gives me insight on the different companies designs and flaws. Looks like keeping everything super clean with on time changes with a best quality oil is as good as it gets. This is why i do my own servicing. Take a look...

Here are some comments on the Genesis forum: Intake manifold, plugs, valve covers, cams all have to come out I assume it is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $1000 and up. The check is actually fairly easy, the valve covers have to come off but that is about it, you can then get a...

Kia Telluride is 2022 Genesis GV80 is a 2021. Lambda engines use two timing chains (by one for each head) and variable valve timing (Hyundai's CVVT). The valves are actuated via solid buckets (there are not hydraulic cam followers). In this case, the adjustment is required every 60,000 miles...

Thanks for all the replies. These engines are cam-over-bucket but isn't this about the same effect as flat tappet? The cam is not hitting a roller with bearings to displace pressure but hitting a flat piece of bucket metal. So I guess what I am looking for are oils that have high pressure...

Hyundai V6 Engines use flat tappet solid lifters that are recommended to be lashed at 60,000 miles. I would like to not have to do this if I can minimize the wear by having the best lubricants for this. The 2 engines I have are the Kia Telluride 3.8 liter V6 (13:1) compression and the Genesis...
