That's my belief as well.
Post your latest oil change
- Thread starter Superbuick96
- Start date
My experience with past owned KIAs and Hyundais is that OEM or NAPA Gold/WIX worked best for me.
Bad in what way to cause loss of oil pressure? This has happened to me many times and I still havent found the mechanism. But it did go away with a different filter.
It Looks like wemay put 5w30 in then replaced with 5W20.
Stupid VVTi mechanism always causing problems! Never had racket BEFORE VVTi
and no racket at all on my Honda fit engine.
Why did you not just try swapping out the oil filter itself first?

It actually sounded like it was coming from the filter area. But i don't really know. Just glad it went away with the switch. I don't have an issue with FRAM.

2016 Hyundai Accent SE 1.6l NA 138,665 mi. 3000 mi. OCI
Out: Firestone (probably Pennzoil) synthetic blend, Pennzoil pz-1 oil filter. Added a 1/4 qt of Castrol 0w40 cause it was a bit low.
In: M1EP 5w30 high mileage, M1 104a filter
Was forced to do the previous oil change at Firestone because I had them redo the pan gasket, it was starting to seep a little. Dry as a bone when I went under it yesterday so they did a fantastic job.

I heard and even have seen a video of filters making a "saxphone" sound. Must be a pinched adbv or something ?
These "unsolved" mysteries with simple components drive me nutty.

I laugh because I'm watching Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack on YTube as I read your post.
2006 Chevy Malibu 3.5L (134,101)
Out -- dirty black oil & some blue oversized oil filter that looks like it was on for multiple runs
In -- Quaker State All Mileage 5W30 Synthetic Blend SP & ST3387 Oil Filter
Also added a bottle of Regane All In One Fuel System Cleaner to the gas tank.
Female Friends car that she just purchased about 500 miles ago she said. Total for all products listed from Walmart was $27.44. That will give her & myself a piece of mind for the next 6 months at least. She has a tendency to rack up miles in a short order.

2017 Ford Explorer XLT 3.5l NA - Changed oil at 8,350 miles
out - Mobil1 5w-20 and Fram Titanium filter
in - Shell Rotella GT Full Syn 5w-20 and Super Tech filter
Only going to run this oci 6,000 miles. Need to use up the Shell oil stash and given some of the uoas I’ve seen on this oil, 6,000 miles seems like the sweet spot.
