Hyundai recommends QS/Shell Helix.
ACEA A5
Knowing now that the local dealer uses QS Syn Blend for all their Hyundais, 5w30, what would yall choose?
After work tonight I am picking up the oil, I have been looking into Valvoline Synpower 5w30 as it meets ACEA A5, though I have also read on Veloster forums about calcium not being liked in the turbo 1.6L GDI.
I have been looking into Rotella T5 10w30, as it is on sale at the local Walmart for 14.47$
T6 5w40 is at 19.XX$
QSUD 5w30 is 21.27$ (WM Bottles aren't ACEA A5, AAP are. Figure its the same stuff)
Synpower 5w30 is 22.XX$
QS Synblend (what the dealer uses) is 16.97$
I am sure all 4 would do fine, Price isn't an issue, I'm leaning toward the T5, OM states pretty much any viscosity from 0w20 to 20w50, depending on temp. This will be run for the hot and occasionally flooded texas summer, where temps here can get to 110F+
My driving is 75% speeds of 40+MPH HWY/ 25% City-Stop and Go.
Car is driven in Eco mode on highways, non eco mode in city/communities.
MFR Suggested interval is 5k/6months.
Fuel ran is normally Valero 89
