Hey everyone. So I've come across many forums and discussion on the type of oil that should be used in a genesis coupe turbo and I've read so much that many drivers primarily select 5w40 oil over 5w30 in their turbo charged car mainly reason being that a 40grade oil offers better protection and performance with the high temperatures that the turbo will put out stating that when a 5w40 oil gets to higher temps it will start to run as a 5w30 oil. For context the owners manual of my car states thats it can take 5w20/30/40 oil but ive read that I should stay away from 5w20 in this car as Hyundai really only recommended that oil for improved fuel economy and really the thinner oil will not do well for the protection of the car.
I for myself am a pretty calm driver. Im not one to take the car to a track day and beat the hell out of it for a day. My car is my go to daily driver for everything. I just want the best protection for my engine. For more context I live So. California, and emission are strict here. And im not to sure if switching the oil will effect any of that on my car
Now I wanted to come here and ask for suggestion on what oil should I use for my next oil change. My car currently is running with Royal Purple 5w30 at 125k original miles on the car running strong and healthy. Personally with all my cars I change the oil at 3000-5000 intervals no matter what. Ive slightly become convinced that I should make the switch over to 5w40 to protect the car engine and the turbo but I would like to know if that is the right choice. Can anyone give me suggestions on what should I do? And if your a genesis owner like me I would like to know what is it that you put in your engine?
Also I would like to add any suggestion on what brand to use. Many 5w40 are listed as European grade oils. Now personally I wouldn't mind spending the money for a higher end oil like amsoil or motul. In essence I just need help being point in the right direction!
