New 2015 Hyundai Veloster 1.6 GDI Turbo. 2,000 miles on the factory fill now.
At 2,500 miles I plan on changing the oil and using a new Hyundai factory filter.
Here is what I am looking at and why for oil:
Valvoline white bottle 5w30. Why? Consider this:
I drive the car on weekends only, and I go about 6,000 miles per year. Oil changes will be once every 6 months. 3K OCI's.
I discovered many research papers being written about LSPI, and how calcium levels plays a major role in the occurrence of LSPI events. In other research papers and articles, engineers believe the oil in GDI cars needs to be changed more frequently to prevent intake valve deposits.
After looking at the 5w30 PQIA comparisons, I think VWB with its low calcium levels and excellent UOA's here on bitog, would serve well with the 6 month OCI's and low calcium it should minimize any LSPI events. I see no reason to waste more money on synthetic when I am going to change it every 3,000 miles.
