I get that flat tappet break in oil should contain elevated amounts of zinc and phosphorus. What I don't get is why there are various videos on YT that say "Don't use a detergent oil, the detergent will wash off the additives and your cam will go flat"... Now, the only non detergent oil I am...

New 2015 Hyundai Veloster 1.6 GDI Turbo. 2,000 miles on the factory fill now. At 2,500 miles I plan on changing the oil and using a new Hyundai factory filter. Here is what I am looking at and why for oil: Valvoline white bottle 5w30. Why? Consider this: I drive the car on weekends only...

I recently bought a '15 Hyundai Veloster with the 1.6l GDI Turbo engine, a/t transmission. I have 900 miles on the car and it runs great. I am researching what oil would fit the bill for the car, provide good protection and low deposits. Things I am concerned about are deposits, and LSPI...

Hey, with all of the talk about increasing oil capacity, etc. I was wondering if it would be worth it on my subaru wrx. The stock system is spec'd for 5 quarts, including the filter. I have used both the Purolator pl14459 and the 14460 in the past with success. The only difference is that the...

I have a Subaru WRX and am running the 10w30 Mobil 1 synthetic with a purolator pl14460 filter. I am running the oil approximately 5000 miles before I change it. Would changing only the filter at 2500 provide any additional benefit due to the slightly long run time? The engine has been modified...
