Wow that looks like it was just built. 👀I was considering Penzoil Ultra Platinum 0W40. That's what I used in my 2015 and this is what the top end looked like at 80K.

First oil change at 1000 miles. Second around 3500. Every 5K after that. OEM filter. With the exception of two (but with the OE filter) every oil change was done at the dealership with me bringing the oil. I bring the M1 to the dealership for the 2021 as well.What were your oil change intervals with the Pennzoil Ultra 0W40 ? Also , did you use the OEM oil filter or another brand ? ... Your engine looked pristine !
That's actually my 2015 at 80K. I'm using M1 in the 2021 because I can't find Penzoil 0W30 anywhere.Don’t know but that cylinder head looks darned clean 👍
Download owners manual for everywhere outside of USA. That will tell you it’s OK.I bought a 2021 Sonata as my new daily last year. 2.5T Smart Stream engine. It suits my needs in a daily driver. Owner's manuals says nothing but 0W30. Been using Mobil 1. Did an analysis at 27K. Oil and engine immaculate. I used Penzoil Ultra Platinum 0W40 in my previous daily. That engine was also immaculate at 100K when it was totaled.
I'm in Texas and moving back to Arizona in the spring. Both have summer weather temperatures at 100+ of course. 0W30 is rated at -35 to 86F. 0W40 up to 104⁰. I'm thinking of going back to 0W40. Good idea? I'm not overly concerned with Hyundai saying is specifies 0W30 only, considering they're allowing dealers to use 0W20 during the free maintenance. You'd think they'd be stricter with that considering the Theta II issues ..
I'd venture to say that any SAE grade of oil is OK for any engine as long as the winter rating is appropriate for the expected starting conditions.Download owners manual for everywhere outside of USA. That will tell you it’s OK.
This Blackstone UOA says you are using AFE., not ESP as you state. Is that a typo?Thank you very much for that.
They include free oil changes for 3/36. Since their schedule is 8K, thats four oil changes. I've handled this car the way I handle every new vehicle. I paid for an oil change at 1000 miles then again at around 4,000 mi. They covered the 8, 16, and 24. I covered the 12, 20, and 28ish. I'm at 30K now and get the last freebie at 32K. All of which I bring them Mobil 1 0W30 ESP. Overkill I know but the car is had eight oil changes. Once I use up their last freebie, I'll resume my normal schedule of 5K..
At the rate I'm clocking the miles, I'll probably be back in Tucson just after my 32k oil change. I'll beat on that for 5K and send it out for analysis.
I picked up three 5qt jugs of ESP on sale at Oreileys for $87 out the door. 🤙 Good deal in my opinion.No he's confused. ESP is sold in quarts at some Walmarts but not the 5-quart containers. AutoZone also has the 5W-30 but for around $34. However you can usually get the filter deal.
I think you're doing the best you can for that engine. For warranty reasons only I'd stick with the 0w30 until the warranty runs out then go 0w40 after that.Thank you very much for that.

How is that possible? The O’Reilly auto places here only sell quarts of ESP and they are over $11 each. Only AutoZone has the 5-quart and they are around $33.I picked up three 5qt jugs of ESP on sale at Oreileys for $87 out the door. 🤙 Good deal in my opinion.

I’d say the ESP product is equal or better, especially considering the approvals.Delvac 5W-40.
I'd want the most robust oil possible running a turbo in the desert.
Thanks for posting this. I grabbed 6 jugs today (max discount is $50 and 6 jugs gets you as close as you can without going over).I don't know what to tell you but it's on sale now plus if you order online it's another 20% off plus free shipping! Get on it.😎 I should order more while I can.😂
Funny you say this. I just ordered 3 more jugs yesterday!😂 I haven't even tried the oil yet and I have 6 jugs stockpiled. Based on all of the raving reviews of the oil and not one negative one, I think I'm going to like it.Thanks for posting this.
