What?……almost 100,000 miles on a 22 Hyundai? Are you an interstate delivery service?It will go on rollback.
Only problem is QSFS is now $22.97 I think we call this trickle up inflation.Valvoline is $29 and no better than QSS at $21 …

If you bought a 5 gallon bucket of @High Performance Lubricants PCMO, you’re at about $39/gallon, plus filter. That’s about a 67% increase over your current oil. If you did a UOA vs a drain @ 8-10k, there’s another $40. That makes your first oil change on HPL about the cost of two normal OCIs.Overall it's a lot more depending on OCI. I'm not challenging you on HPL as I've looked into them and I do believe they have a product above and beyond the average oil. But let's get to the issue. I'm using Mobil 1 EP and Pennz Plat in 5-30 at a cost of about $28 for 5 quarts. My OCI is 8k with a Fram Ultra filter. I'm not comfortable going past 8k so I don't feel HPL is providing me anything over Mobil 1 or Pennz Plat. Can you provide any data that proves it's better for the additional cost?
And I'm honest and open. You could make the same argument to me that many other oils that I mentioned could do the same with my parameters.
I think with the state of our economy rebates are a thing of the past. Be sure to vote in November.Do we see Mobil 1 or Pennzoil rebates anymore? Maybe rebates on other name brands?
I haven't bought oil in a few years and don't plan to pay full price next time.
So if you’re not doing over longer drain intervals (5k miles and up) a premium oil (Valvoline, M1) wouldn’t be worth it?If you bought a 5 gallon bucket of @High Performance Lubricants PCMO, you’re at about $39/gallon, plus filter.

But your UOA showed you were fine out to 2x+ your 8k limit, and therefore now the HPL is equal cost or less compared to your normal oil, and it also saves you an extra trip under the car.
Not arguing, just fleshing out the opposite side of the discussion. Do what you feel treats your machine the best
I personally don’t think so. If you’re dead set on super short intervals (B] for the engine in question was incapable of providing sufficient protection over those OCIs. There is plenty of data (dnewton3 has posted before on this IIRC) of people even exceeding 5k+ on conventional and having plenty of reserves in the oil’s performance.So if you’re not doing over longer drain intervals (5k miles and up) a premium oil (Valvoline, M1) wouldn’t be worth it?
For ME, my Tundra 5.7 sounds a lot better using Valvoline EP than Mobil 1. I’ll pay $5 more for now but QSFS is tempting.Really like the oil in 5W30 in my Tacoma doing 5k OCI. The price difference compared to M1 EP is a little suppressing. Thinking about switching to that next time.
My tundra 5.7 sounds better on Valvoline EP as well.For ME, my Tundra 5.7 sounds a lot better using Valvoline EP than Mobil 1. I’ll pay $5 more for now.
Couldn’t agree more.For ME, my Tundra 5.7 sounds a lot better using Valvoline EP than Mobil 1. I’ll pay $5 more for now.
Since I change the oil in my wife's car at 5,000 mile intervals, I'm going to have to move on to a new oil, probably Super Tech...I can't justify the price
Whoops......ha ha I did not have my glasses on and took the filter # for mileage.7500 on the '22 Palisade
3400 on the '22 Accent
Did I say we have 100k miles our '22 somewhere?
