Winter for sure for my tgdi. Even with 2 catch cans

Valvoline premium blue restore is stated specifically to clean rings, presumably it would clean other areas, top end included.

Heck, even the mainstream "synthetic oils" have a hard time in Germany being "real synthetic " vs "synthetic technology ". Recent valvoline shows all group 3 , no group 4 or 5.

As the slag said "stop being poor!" Put 93 octane in, not 87. Poof! No knock.

And you should be using a 30 wt @ minimum

M1 because of the superior base oils. Flame suit on ! 🔥

That's exactly what hyundai did. Earlier in the whole theta2 fiasco they had owners come in , hook up to a computer that listened to the knock sensor, if you fell to the left side of the bell curve on noise you got an orange dipstick instead of a yellow dip stick and it read one half qt more oil...

So is it wrong to think that group 4 and group 5 bases are "better" than group 3? Sure has hpl likes gushing about their "better" oil bases pcmo.

Seems to me valvoline pcmo has given up using group 4 or 5 and is now group 3 only. That seems to me a monetary vs performance decision.

Pretty much the most stable, low volatile base stocks and add pack will be valvoline premium blue RESTORE. It says consider it a 15w-30 on the jug.

All I can say is my Yukon Denali with the same engine likes this oil and additive combo. 158k miles, lots of towing 8k lb boat/trailer. Plus 1qt mobil 1 5w-50. I had the same noise when I bought it around 78k, I did the whole kreen thing and it helped.

Imo 93 gas works best to stop the rich condition My 2011 still is gas in the oil smell but less than when running 87. I have a tune on it and close to 128k miles. 5k mile oci 40 wts mostly.

I would guess AN, POE, PAO, GTL, VISOM DINO But there are many kinds of different forms of the first 3 and more than a handful of the rest. No real way to quantify such unless you had very deep pockets to test all of them In situ in a real motor being driven.

Is this the same guy who was trolling everybody with incessant use thin oil posts now complaining about excessive consumption? Or a doppelganger that is curious enough to ask folks why his $330k car is not happy with his choice of viscosity? F1 cars used to be able to burn lubrication oil as...

My 6.2 l92 in a 2008 Yukon denali pulling a 8000 lb boat trailer combo has made it to 158k miles on 5w30 synthetic oils. If I were in op's climate I'd use 0w-40 mobil 1 like I use in my turbo cars.

Addendum : I measure in gallons, not qts.

Over 10 years of oil for 5 different vehicles, not including ope. I feel like a normal bitoger.

Hyundai says it's to light off the cat quicker, so blame Cali again.

I would use it. Free has a nice ring to it. Your engine will need to be blindfolded to not notice the difference.

My hyundai sonata 2.0t se 2011 is now at 120k miles. Orange dipstick, 5.5 qt sump, 2 catch cans either side of pcv system , stage 2 tune, just over 300 hp to wheels with nitroethane , mtbe, and other octane enhancers. I run redline 0w-30 as an adjunct to all my other oils. Always a Franken brew...
