UOA 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.4
Ouch viscosity on only 4k miles??
Ouch, indeed!!
That’s low viscosity and TBN for 3,600 miles.
Admittedly, the wear metals look good but the “Properties” values suck.
This has to be a short tripped car, right? How many months was the oil in the crankcase?
I bet serious coin your fuel dilution is actually higher than what BS extropolated.
And, no, I wouldn’t “try 5,500 miles on the next oil.”
And it was also run through the winter months. Not sure if you live in a climate that gets freezing temps in the winter, but that could also make the fuel dilution worse.November 15, 2023 to March 5, 2024 was the time frame.
Yes, I’d say it’s definitely a short trip car. 5 miles one way to work; nothing is more than a 15 minute drive with a 60 mile one way trip every other month or so.
These Hyundai engines are very problematic so I’m trying to stick with a 4k OCI or less. PUP is in there now and I’ll get an analysis on that in a month or two. Probably no more Idemitsu — I’m far from an expert but it doesn’t appear the #s justify the expense and more so the hassle of online ordering.
It's not short-tripping, Hyundai/Kia motors are notoriously bad at fuel dilutionOuch, indeed!!

**** that's good
Yes it doesViscosity is down but the wear report appears very low for the mileage. Looks excellent really.
