Hi guys, I read all the previous Veloster N threads I could find on the forum and wasn't able to find a complete solution.
INFO:
I am in hot Southern California
2021 Hyundai Veloster N with a Turbo GDI motor 2.0L.
The manual says I can use these:
0w-30
10w-30
15w-40
20w-50
Needs to be API SN Plus or SP and/or ILSAC GF-6 ( Required for LSPI protection)
Needs to be certified by American Petroleum Institute
The previous model year's manual also stated that 5w-30 and 5w-40 are allowed. But in my 2021 book those are not listed anymore.
I plan on going to the track and doing HPDE events and also being my daily commuter. I have a thermostatic oil cooler which I will install, it opens up at 185F.
People who track this car have been using 5w-40 without an oil cooler and reaching 260F or higher at the track.
I expect the oil cooler to give a -20F benefit and the oil to be around 200F to 240F.
I use to have a 2014 Veloster Turbo Turbo GDI 1.6L that suffered from LSPI and I can't have that happen again. I was running Motul 5w40 8100 Xcess during the LSPI event.
I haven't decided on OCI, if the oil quality is good enough I would like to do multiple track events with it or I can change the oil after every event if I have to. My daily driving is very low mileage, almost 5,000 a year at most.
Open questions:
Since I have an oil cooler I don't need a 40 weight oil right?
I found Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 10w-30 has API SP and GF-6 ratings with the certification. Fits the manual requirements perfectly. Walmart is having a BF sale so $21 for 5 quarts so I ordered 20 quarts.
Is that a good pick? ( I can return it )
What oils would you guys recommend?
