I've been advised by the Kia and Hyundai community to swap from 5w-30 to 5w-40 in my 1.6 Turbo GDI.
Amsoil doesn't offer 5w-40 in the Signature Series. Those who run Amsoil in the Kia/Hyundai community run the European Series 5w-40. From what I gather it is the same stuff expect it has (SAPS) for the emissions systems in European cars. Can someone please explain what this is and which 5w-40 is better suited for my application?? There are two 5w-40's in the European Series. "Full SAPS" and "Mid SAPS"
I live in Alabama, United States. Hot humid summers and Chilly winters with the occasional 1 or 2" of snow every 2 or 3 years but rarely cold enough to stick. My car is a 2017 Kia Forte5 SX with a 1.6 Turbo GDI engine. Thank you for any and all input. Just trying to better understanding what it is I will be putting in my engine. Thanks.
