Car is the 2017 Elantra with the 2.0 motor. Multiport. Hyundai says SM 5w-20, 5w-30, 10w-30. I just put free 5w-20 PUP from Wal-Mart and with OEM filter on Monday. Already, I am planning my Spring oil change. I am wanting to use up what I have in stock, but not convinced some of my choices will work well. I am very confident and like PP and PUP. Here are the choices:
1. 5w-30 Pennzoil Platinum
2. 10w-30 Chevron Supreme
3. 5w-30 Trop Artic
All of these oil are SN. I drive 4 miles to work 4 days and 20 miles one day. Some days do additional driving or may just come home after work. Will be changing oil in May, so weather will be warm, then plan to change in Fall. Driving 8k+ a year. Since my driving habits fit severe service Hyundai says 3,750 mile schedule is required for warranty.
First, I want to tell you what I would choose and why:
1.Pennzoil Plantinum 5w-30. It will handle heat better and keep engine cleaner.
2.Chevron Supreme 10w-30. It is conventional. I have concerns it may reduce gas mileage a little and leave more deposits than the PP. Hyundai says I can use it when it is warm outside.
3.Trop Artic 5w-30 is an oil I do not have confidence with. I know my oil burning Saturn loved it as in using more oil when used.
I like PUP 5w-20 Synthetic like I am using now. On the other hand will it really make a difference if I use up the oils on hand? I need to be more rational and practical. Part of me wants to only use synthetic oil, but I already have too much oil. Thanks for your help!
Choice of filters in OEM or Fram Ultra if you want to add that to your recommendations.
