It’s the 2.0 engine with the CVTIs this the 1.5 Turbo? That’s really impressive!
24 mustang with 18k on factory filter and possibly oil.
Out/off: black factory filter and oil
In:safety Kleen 5w30 and PZ-167 filter made in USA (Purolator)
My work doesn’t use Valvoline We only use Safety Kleen oils.With the 5.0 the 10 qt capacity would likely help mitigate this.
With the 2.3EB Turbo and only 6 qt capacity it is concerning.
I might run Valvoline Restore & Protect to make an attempt at heading off the start of any ring deposits.
Great to hear AFM can go that long …09/28/2024
2011 Silverado with HD offroad and tow package, AFM active. 528,796 miles (original engine).
SupraTech 5W30 (usually that, or Mobil 1) and Bestline additive (used latter since approximately 200,000 miles), WIX filter.
Always change it hot, always treat any "breach" of engine interior practically like a surgical field.
It's been across the country 5 times, I've had it up to around 12,000 feet in the White/Inyo range, I drive it for work (Geologist/Construction special inspector) and often enough the changes are about every 6-8 weeks in frequency.

That's a good choice for the MPI 2.0 engine. I recommend sticking to the EP T/A (10W30?) for your GDI engine.2021 Kia Seltos 2.0L PFI 4,500 mile / 6 month OCI:
Out : M1 5W30 EP (4.2 qrts.) + Fram Ultra #9688 oil filter
In : M1 0W30 ESP Euro + Fram Ultra 9688 oil filter
*WM just raised M1 vanilla and EP prices by $3.00 per jug so now the M1 0W30 ESP was $2.00 less than M1 EP - so why not give the M1 ESP 0W30 a try out to make the team ? The M1 ESP is probably a better oil for under 10K mile OCI's anyway ...
What are your thoughts on a well maintained Seltos 2.0L that runs clean OCI for mixed suburban , average driving conditions ?That's a good choice for the MPI 2.0 engine. I recommend sticking to the EP T/A (10W30?) for your GDI engine.
Even thou you didn't need to change the Ultra filter, you made the right choice to change it by abiding by the new vehicle warranty mileage limitations in your owners manual. Had you used that Ultra for another OCI run, you accumulate too many miles allowed. But that used Ultra would have easily withstood 9k miles in that cleaner running MPI engine.
