OCI recommendation for TGDI?

[Hohn]

Well, yeah, obviously it is not science. You need oil pressure and that is it. Whether it is fluctuating a bit or not is irrelevant.

It’s wise to let the engine idle for up to 10 seconds after oil pressure builds.

It takes a few seconds for oil to fully flood critical parts of the overhead.

I would think that a TGDI engine in typical mixed city suburban , semi - spirited driving would be about done with a 4K mile / 6 month OCI (it would be for a Hyundai / Kia TGDI) .

I would say they are exception to the rule.

I see no problem to let vehicle idle for 1 to 3 minutes first before slowly driving away . As for oil , a once per year oil change with M1 5W30 EP with its higher oxidation / longer drain potential could well be ideal for you .

I usually let stuff run 30-45+ mins.

I have no desire to try to drive in a -30* cab with the windows iced over.
