Hyundai V6 Engines use flat tappet solid lifters that are recommended to be lashed at 60,000 miles. I would like to not have to do this if I can minimize the wear by having the best lubricants for this. The 2 engines I have are the Kia Telluride 3.8 liter V6 (13:1) compression and the Genesis GV80 3.5 liter Twin Turbo. I have been using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum full synthetic 5w30 with BG MOA PN115 additive on the Kia Telluride & the Genesis GV80 has free oil changes from the dealer using Quaker State full synthetic 0w30 BG MOA PN115 additive. The Genesis dealer got me onto the BG MOA product saying the drive train would be guaranteed for the life of the car with this and I plan for these 2 cars to be the last I ever buy as long as they hold up.
I bought the BG MOA PN115 cheap @ $7 a can so it isn't hurting me and it had added Zinc which seems to be a positive for wear resistance on flat tappet type cams/lifters. I have read the do and mainly don't s on buying snake oil additives and a good synthetic oil by itself should be all you need. I just don't want to mess with lashing these because I only trust myself doing it. I build engines as a hobby so I can do it. In some of the high pressure friction bearing tests I have seen some additives like Motorkote helped but has high Chlorinated Paraffins which cause other corrosive issues overtime.
Reading these posts makes me realize we have some pretty smart people here and wonder if anyone had some ideas on this? Thanks!
