I never thought I would ask this- - -whats the best question, yet here we are.
Anyway - we do a lot of short trip driving in our 19 Santa Fe 2.0t. Even in the summer months we get noticable fuel dilution. The 5w-30 syn Seems to shear down very quickly. I notice this when I can hear the timing chain tensioner clacking on start up. It never does this at the start of the OCI - Usually starts to shear down 2.5k kms.
I have tried taking it on long drives -45+ min freeway drives. This does little to nothing for fuel smell and the thinning issue.
Anyway - - - does anyone know any good 5w-30's out there that can handle fuel a bit better?
I am thinking of trying a 5w-40 to see how far it will go. But for this I would like to know if there are any 30's out there?
Thanks
