Elantra N ... new purchase

Already? I'm usually a 2000-2500 mile guy for the first oil change. Then again at 5000, and every 5000 miles thereafter.
That’s what I would do because you simply cannot know how much break in material your engine generates.

For example, here is a lexus that still shows quite a bit of breakin particles on the third OCI. It’s normal, but I would not keep that oil for 10k miles like Toyota recommends.

Next I would think about that wet clutch DCT of yours and change the fluid between 10k and 20k miles on it. The clutches shed the most material during this period.

We’ll see. Today, I ordered 10 OEM Hyundai oil filters and drain plug gaskets.

I also need to buy some jack stands so I can rotate tires how the manual says to do it.

No DCT worries here - mine’s the standard 6-speed manual.
 
Not quite clear on why Hyundai hasn't blessed Kia with this package, unless they don't think there will be enough takers to split it between both brands. I think that engine would be a sweet addition to the Forte GT for folks who prefer Kia's design slant.

Congrats on the purchase. I bet that thing's a hot rod.

Maybe with the K4, which looks great. Especially in hatch mode.
