Lets take Hyundai for instance.
2015-present, turbo recommendation is to use ACEA A5. Yet all previous (my 2013 included) are status quo SM/GF4. Back to the A5 recommendations... In every Hyundai owner's manual, Quaker State is the recommended oil, yet there is no QS product that currently carries A5 approval. Finally, if a certain approval were "required", they would need to use that as dealer fill. They do not. What's used is Conventional. If you are like thousands of owners that only want the dealership to carry out service, your engine will never see A5. And if that engine should suffer an oil related failure (exceedingly rare but used for arguments sake), there'd be no way for them to come after the owner if oil level os correct.
Again, most Owner's Manuals only recommend and do not require.
