Best bet on Swepco products is to call the company and see who your local distributor is. They are far more fair on prices than online vendors.
Need something bigger. OCI was on purpose to reset her intervals to multiples of 5,000 so the next owner can (hopefully) service her every 5,000 miles.
Delo 400 XLE is a great oil at its price point. I got a bunch of the 10w30 when WM was clearancing it, and I’ve used it many times in my Subarus.
Thats a $20 oil change right there!

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T AWD
112K miles
Been doing 6month OCIs but changing to 3-4 months given I short-trip the car primarily
Out: Indy shop's house synthetic oil 5w30 called Mighty; unknown filter. For a lot of its life though, I used M1 5w30
In: Amsoil 5w30 SS; Bosch Premium filter (note - i live in the South and thought about going with 10w30 since the manual says it's ok, but concerned about startup wear too)
I have two of these 2013s. This one had the dreaded "rod/knock" issue at 61K miles and engine replaced under warranty. No issues since.
I just bought a 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy AWD and absolutely love it. That car will adhere to the severe OCI of 6 months / 5K miles for its entire life, and will only eat Amsoil SS 0w30 (per manufacturer spec) from now on. I want the engine and wet DCT to only enjoy the best.

Good man. That Hyundai should at least last to 50,000 miles now.
Pass the Hyundai salt shaker please, I poured some out in this post and I need more to replenish my grudge.
I've got 186k on mine all on 5 20. No oil usage and runs like newGood man. That Hyundai should at least last to 50,000 miles now.

Lottery ticket, now
No need. As as auto tech I have seen plenty of high mileage Hyundai's. The gdi ones are the ones that have had the most problems. All makes and models have problems. New Chevy with less than 1000 miles at the dealership for trashed lifters due to afm. No one manufacture builds every thing perfect
