My hyundai sonata 2.0t se 2011 is now at 120k miles. Orange dipstick, 5.5 qt sump, 2 catch cans either side of pcv system , stage 2 tune, just over 300 hp to wheels with nitroethane , mtbe, and other octane enhancers. I run redline 0w-30 as an adjunct to all my other oils. Always a Franken brew. Never run straight redline before. Still have black oil after 3000 miles and gasoline smell after dump @ 5 k miles. Runs like a beast. I am trying to blow it up before the ntsb lawsuit Agreement runs out. No dice. Thick oil in summer, 40s , thinner in winter 30s. Ymmv, but aggressive 3500 mi oci have stood me in good stead from 1k to 65k, 4200 mi oci to 110 k and now 5k changes have kept it alive. All oils have been hto.06 , gm 4781, porshe a40 etc. The e63s will get similar treatment.
