Hyundai, No oil requirements only recommendations

[wemay]

From SHELL, today:

Thank you for your recent inquiry and supporting Shell products,

In response to your inquiry, although other current late model Hyundai, turbo equipped vehicles, specify SAE 5w30/5W-40, we do not recommend Shell ROTELLA T6 5W-40 for the Santa Fe Sport 2.0T. Hyundai Motors USA and Shell Oil, recommend either SAE 5w30 or 10w30 only. Conversely, you are free to use SAE 10w30 Shell ROTELLA T5 synthetic blend. Other recommended oils are Quaker State Advanced Durability or Quaker State Ultimate Durability, in 5W30 or 10W30.

From HyundaiUSA:

...using a 5W-40 weight oil in the Santa Fe Sport 2.0T could void the factory warranty should any engine or emissions problem occur during the warranty period. Hyundai USA strongly recommends the use of recommended viscosity oils found in your owners manual...


SH*T !!

When finished with this interval, i think i will just use Quaker State Ultimate Durability. The pitfalls and nuances of the "OEM recommendations" just arent worth the effort when looking for a niche oil that caters to your overall driving dynamics, especially where warranty is a concern.Quaker State Ultimate Durability will be a great catch all.

...or Quaker State Conventional between 3-4k. But QS none the less.
