Before I begin, I know a HM oil isn't going to hurt anything on the car, but given her service history, I question if it is worth it.
So my ‘17 Hyundai Elantra Eco (1.4L TGDI) is about to roll over to the "High Mileage" category. The topic of discussion is if I should go ahead and switch to a HM oil now, wait, or keep going on what has been working, or simply consider a viscosity change.
Other than the FF, she has been exclusively on a 6,200 mil OCI using 5W-30 (Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Mobil 1 EP for two OCIs.) Hyundai "demands" ACEA A5 5W-30 (and A5 5W-40 is acceptable.) Even though Ultra is only SN+/ACEA A5, haven't had an issue and she runs just like she did on day 1.
Do I really need to go to HM? Mobil makes EP 5W-30 in the HM formula which I'm fine with... but given it's a TGDI figured I'd open up the floor to those who have high mileage turbo cars.
