This is totally going to be beating a dead horse and I apologize for that. I just cannot make up my mind!
Recently purchased a 2017 Sonata to replace the woefully uncomfortable 2017 Elantra I purchased in January.
Recommended oil is Quaker State in 5w20 (though 5w30 is acceptable). This engine is GDI and the first one I've owned. I had never given a thought to worrying about valve cleanliness because I exclusively run Top Tier gas and that handled the matter in the non-GDI engines I've owned. I still run TT, obviously. Though as we all know around here doesn't really matter what the gas is when it never touches the valves.
Will dropping the FF today and can't decide on an oil. I have SCOURED the web and the general consensus I seem to be able to find is that NOACK is the most important aspect for a GDI engine oil.
Historically I have always run M1 AFE but I can't decide if that's still the right choice for this engine.
I'm trying to decide between:
M1 AFE
M1 EP
QSUD
PPPurePlus (no access to PUPPurePlus in my area)
And now I also have to take into account fuel dilution and the thinning out thus should I run a 5w30 or an 0w20.
**I don't run 5w20 since I live in a colder region.
