The manual is a little vague. The Mobil1 ESP 5w30 is not SN+, its only SN. The "+" is there to indicate it passed a turbocharger test for LSPI, and Hyundai is slightly worried about that surfacing. The fact that they say an ACEA C2 oil is good means they are not requiring you to guard against LSPI though.
One thing is for sure, your choice of Castrol Edge will satisfy warranty requirements and Castrol knows what they are doing.
I would look for as many turbo tests as I can. dexos1, HTO-06, I think ACEA C2 or A5/B5 includes one, and of course the LSPI tests are in SN+ and dexos1 as already mentioned.
Mobil1 ESP 5w30 (C3 qualification) does include a lot of very tough German turbo specs & other wear, oxidation, sludge, etc. tests that are very high as well.
Its HTHS is good for racing & hard driving, practically, with an HTHS 3.5 in that Veloster engine that needs at least HTHS 2.9 according to Hyundai.
My conclusion: Use Pennzoil Euro L 5w30 (C3 qualification), bargain priced at walmart, (similar to Mobil1 ESP 5w30 C3), if you plan to autocross or race this car, really thrash it, not just normal street driving bursts. I'm assuming LSPI won't be a problem here with these lower saps oils.
If not driven like a maniac, the Castrol Edge you bought, or any dexos1 SN+ 5w30 name brand synthetic oil will deliver about the same internal wear results & turbo longevity.
