Oh **** I missed that completely, I should be able to get it, the shop I get mine from is a dealer so they have pretty much the entire product line on hand. I'll have to read through all that when I wake up 👍

I know the X-Clean efe 5w30 is C2 and C3 and I'm hazarding a guess for a DIT performance car is probably a better idea than A3/B4 Which one has the Porsche c40? I know the X-Clean efe 5w30 has the BMW LL04, 229.52 and VW 505 00 505 01 and the gm dexos 2 which from my understanding are all very...

Sorry I'm misunderstanding your last line, likely because I'm still rocking back and forth chanting oil specs trying to learn as much as I can quickly 😂, what do you mean by this? That the A3/B4 would likely not be great in a engine calling for C2?

Despite being ACEA A3/B4 in a direct injection vs the X-Clean C2/C3? I'm pretty happy with the X-Clean 5w30after this post but if you have a compelling reason to switch to Xcess gen 2 5w40 I'm all ears since that's what I use in my Subaru and I love it in that and wouldn't mind just putting the...

Would it make a large difference? The performance shop I use stocks Motul and sells it to me at cost since I know the owner, otherwise I'd have to bring in the Mobil 1 myself.

Yeah! Also yes I have retrofits coming to replace the fogged Subaru headlights

Sounds good, I'll stick with the Motul X-Clean efe. Thanks everyone for the help, you've seriously lessened my anxiety 🤟

I haven't got a VOA for either but I've seen some UOA for them. I think there's one VOA on this site for the X-Clean. I'll be 100% with you I'm not even sure what PDS or SDS is, I'll have to check the acronyms. From the sounds of it looks like I'll just keep using the Motul X clean efe This...

Would it be better so switch to the Xcess gen 2 5w40 since it's API SP despite being ACEA A3/B4?

I am, Motul X-Clean efe is a ACEA C2/C3 and it says use latest ilsac or C2? Do you have an oil recommendation? I thought I was pretty clear the in the OP I'm confused as hell about this. The performance shop I use put in Motul and the specs seemed to match?

Vehicle is a 2021 Veloster N 2.0t I'm too far down the rabbit hole to make my own decision anymore and I'm pretty lost in the sauce. I'm currently running Motul X-Clean efe 5w30, I noticed the manual says API SP OR ACEA C2 (X-Clean is a c2/c3) and I drive it fairly hard, nothing crazy but I do...

I'm in Canada but the vehicle is only driven in the summer so +28c average temperatures. Should I not be concerned with avoiding LSPI via oil ratings since it's T-GDI? I'm thinking Pennzoil platinum euro 5w40 is likely a safe bet?

Any recommendations for a 5W40? The motul X-Clean EFE only comes in 5w30 and the 5w40 X-clean is C3 not C2 so might have issues with warranty. I'm having trouble finding group IV+ 5w40 that matches the API SP/ILSAC GF-6 and C2 manual recommendations. I'm seeing some liquimoly that match it 🤷

I wrote that wrong, I change it before 5000km not miles. Hard to keep track when everyone is typing miles instead of km 🫠 It's also not the same factory, the Theta II we got in the older cars was built in America, the N engine is built in Korea Either way I'm no closer to deciding what oil to...

There hasn't been any real information about LSPI or complaints about it on any N forums/groups I'm on and it's relatively low compression (9.5:1) but being direct injection is still something I'm worried about. Do you have an oil in mind to replace the Motul X-clean EFE 5w30? I've been running...

Yeah sounds like the X-Clean EFE one been using works since it's OEM APPROVALS are BMW LL-04, MERCEDES-BENZ MB-APPROVAL 229.52, OPEL VAUXHALL OV 040 1547 - D30, VW 505 00 505 01 and Dexos2 I've also seen a few UOA of it in the VN engine and it seems to hold up well and doesn't shear.

I only run the highest octane Shell v power available and I change the oil before 5000 miles. The N Cars use a variation of the Theta 2 but with very little in common https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/probing-hyundais-veloster-n-performance-powertrain/

Turns out ACEA C2 is fine as well after relooking

We only have the 5 year up here in Canada, I contacted the dealer and they said motul was fine warranty wise but you're right that I'm probably better safe than sorry when all is said and done.

So how do I know what oil actually meets specs? I'll probably switch away from the Motul because of the high calcium in the above post but I'd be switching to Amsoil SS because it says it meets the SP spec and for warranty purposes it's probably best to stay as close to recommendation. Another...
