Keeping that engine clean is also important with GDI/TGDI engines. Pennzoil rates their oils this way...
Pennzoil Yellow Bottle One Star
Pennzoil Platinum Two Stars
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Three Stars
PYB 10W-30 has NOACK in the 4 range, ultra low, and from my understanding lower NOACK would mean lower likelihood of carbon buildup.
I agree that in a general sense PP and PUP have more cleaning elements in their formula but they likely do little to nothing that would mitigate carbon buildup and having higher NOACK values suggests that they are more susceptible to contributing to carbon buildup.
I would be perfectly happy running PYB 10W-30 in my Hyundai GDI for 5000 miles outside the winter months.
