In the case of owning GDI or TGDI engines I think it's best to just follow the manufacturers Severe service intervals. Most people would be best served following their manufacturers recommendations.
In the case of Hyundai/Kia recommending 3,750mi intervals It would seem they are spot on with most UOAs of their GDI engines toasting the oil by 5k miles or less.
Well running port injected engines are capable of much longer intervals. Our escape and Silverado have no trouble running 7.5k+ intervals.
I will do a UOA on our new to us T-GDI Hyundai in the near future to get an Idea of the OCI boundaries on it. I'm guessing by Hyundai's Severe service recommendation of 3k miles on the 1.6T-GDI using an ACEA A5 oil, it's going to destroy quality oil in 3-5k miles. Time will tell.
I do 3K miles with my H/K's.
