Is this car DI?
Hi everyone, This is my second UOA for this vehicle using Super Tech Full Synthetic 10w-30. I was shooting for 10K OCI, but decided to change it as I was already changing oil on my other car. Let me know what you think. Not bad for what most consider an "economy" oil. I'm pretty happy with it in my KIA. Car runs great. Thank you!
based on what I read on bitog, not sure if any oil can handle 10K in any DI engine .... Was just wondering if ST is the wonder oil doing well (almost 10K) in a DI. guess not. lol but it still did well going almost 9.3K.
I use M1 EP in our 2.4L DI Tuscon and it burns none.
Yes I use M1 EP 10W30 in this car. Last time however I used GTX Magnatec 10W30 it's not as good as your edge.
I also use PP 5W30 during winter in this car and the first time I used it my wife made a comment that the car sounds quiet ... so I decided to try Magnatec and see if she says anything but mainly using it because of its low Noack (6.9 iirc) for the price.
2013 Santa Fe Sport 2.0T here as well. I've used ST Syn 5W-30 quite a few times, out to 4k miles, three intervals in a row once. Intermittently after that. Never consumed a noticeable drop of oil. It's worked just as well as the EP and euro oils I've used at this interval.
Thanks for sharing. We're well past 200k miles on it and I still do use 40s on occasion. I doubt any any API Synthetic 5W-30 would have been cause for concern at my oci. I may still have some Edge 5w40 available for next change.
The TSB can also be viewed more cynically than the ubiquitous CAFE connection. They may have recommended a 40 to extend the life of any manufacturer defected 2.0T, so as to get those early vehicles past warranty. All of which is 'water under the bridge' now that the engine replacement settlement has occurred. Either way, it's been extremely reliable and we love it.
I agree with that. Some will fail no matter what, others fail because of abuse or lack of maintenance. Supertech or equivalent are probably just as good as anything at 4k miles or less and fuel dilution and abrasive soot are probably the limiting factor for OCI on those engines. No matter what brand I think a 5w40/0w40 are probably the best choice for longevity.Thanks for sharing. We're well past 200k miles on it and I still do use 40s on occasion.

No. Port injected back in 2008.Is this car DI?
Glad to hear it and congrats on the nice UOA.Originally Posted by daves87rs
Very nice!
Thinking this oil's sweet spot is 7.5 -8k.
I always like a little cushion for my TBN...because you never know...
Thanks. I think you're right. What also is interesting is that this car lives in a brutally hot environment. I don't baby it. It idles for periods and then combined highway/city driving.
I think Super Tech is a fabulous oil. (Former Mobil 1 user here).
it is $10 more for TBN test I believeGlad to hear it and congrats on the nice UOA.
Is the TBN report included in all UOAs at Blackstone, or do you pay more for it?
