I have a 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T that is known for timing stretch in as little as 100,000 kms. I've been running a quality synthetic (5W30 Pennzoil Platinum) for most of it's life at 8000km oil change intervals and the oil analysis comes back perfect, even suggesting I could go longer. There is an improved timing chain design available for this engine but in a sense I'm trying to avoid having to eventually do the work.
So now I'm wondering, if the oil analysis is perfect even at 8K, is there any reason to believe that shortening the OCI's even further would have any meaningful effect on timing chain wear? In the future I'm even considering switching from PP to SuperTech or Kirkland synthetic as they still meet spec so there's no reason to believe they would perform any worse than PP.
Thoughts?
