We recently purchased a Hyundai Santa Fe with a 2.7 L V6. I started running M1 10W-30 and so far have been happy. The owners manual gives the option of running thicker oil in the summer (I live in Dallas, TX...so it's hot here in the summer).
My question is, should I continue to run the 10W-30 year round? Add 1 or 2 quarts of M1 15W-50 in the summer time? Or just run M1 15W-50 in the summer and 10W-30 in the fall, winter, and spring?
Is mixing 10-30 and 15-50 ok as long as you use the same brand? What would the weight of the oil be if you use 4 quarts of 10-30 and 1 quart of 15-50?
Thanks,
Brian Miller
