Im 1000 miles from doing my third change with VRP in my 2019 Sportage with 112k miles. FWIW, I'm planning on using a Purolator Boss or FRAM Endurance myself for 10k miles (still changing oil at 5k miles). I'm doing this based on a really interesting, underrated YouTube channel called Brand...

Update on my oil consumption and for those wondering about the oil in general. Should be particularly interesting to those with a H/K 2.4L consuming oil. See below: The first picture, Trip A with 755 miles, was from today. The dipstick shows about a quart low. 755 miles is how long since adding...

Call me a fanboy of QS, but I would not feel bad about running QSUP. Especially for the price. Im only not using it because I'm having some progress with the VRP I think.

Not only that bro, you kinda came at me saying I had a negative opinion and that everyone has their preference. I said that in my post and also, I wasn't being negative. Thank you for taking accountability though.

If you can afford Amsoil every 5000 miles, you're way over thinking it. And I'm an overthinker. Takes one to know one

Cheesus, a 30k OCI? That's wild. My car will have 6 oil changes done and another 5 quart jug of top off oil between each. That's 60 quarts of oil at my consumption rate. I think that's what bothers me about oil consumption, it just seems wasteful. Plus, it's more money I have to spend and a...

Seems par for the course with the Priuses. For real that's impressive. But, and bear with me here, imagine seeing that odometer on a H/K 2.4L? I know I'd just about crap myself

Lol ah yes AZ. I was in Yuma for 5 weeks in 2022, from Sept to Oct. It got up to 115 during the day but it wasn't getting too cold at night. I didn't know it gets that low there, even in winter.

Give HPL EC a go and then try their oil. Piston soak also a great idea

Where do you live that you're getting 120 in summer and low 20s in winter? That's consistently each year?

You guys are absolutely right. I respect your thoughts. For me personally, as anal as I can be about money and how I spend it, something deep within me would never allow myself to put in oil that's not at least better than whatever I'm currently using. Again, I'm not trying to say I'm doing...

All this talk about M1, omg. I've honestly never heard of or seen a single person bad mouth M1. Amsoil? Yes, Royal Purple even. My brother uses M1 in his vehicles because "it's the best" and he's about as far away from an oil nerd as you can get. So if he knows it's great, can we stop arguing...

Probably going to get eviscerated for this, but I can't help but feel that's a down grade. Alright, let me have it

Regarding that last bit, I was wanting to try a 40wt oil, I may do that with HPL. VRP doesn't have it, yet...

To your point about live trials being the ultimate nexus of what drives people like us here in this forum to do what we do, and not (always) what engineers and math nerds say, what would you say about me using an HPL 40wt on my Kia Sportage? It has the 2.4L and 111k miles on it. Uses a quart of...

Thank you for sharing. I think your experience will truly help me temper my expectations when, not if, I give HPL a try. Im thinking oil consumption is slowly starting to improve in my 2.4L, but nowhere near you or your friend's results with the HPL. And I'm quite certain, just as others have...

I could live with that. You figure if that's after a 1000 miles, if it stayed at that rate of consumption for a 5k mile OCI, you probably would need to add a quart.

I didn't know the YF sonatas had an option for manual. I wish either of our were manual, because it's fun to drive. Cars don't need a lot of HP to be fun to drive in standard, but I can't think of many cars offered these days manual at all, let alone budget friendly. I think the Sentra is the...

I'm not sure honestly. And you're absolutely right, I've fully considered that and prepared myself to accept that as a possibility. I don't have anything for testing compression but I should.

I thought I had a "?" In there, as in asking the community if anyone knows of HPL being used in an car with oil consumption and it did not have any effect on the rate of consumption.
