My wife currently drives a 2003 Kia Sorento, the vehicle has 75K miles on it. We've owned it since 2004. I was initially using Mobil 1 10-30 in it, first with a Kia OEM filter for a few years then started using a Pure One filter. I changed to Pennzoil Platinum late last year. I've been doing 6 month oil changes (5-30 in winter, 10-30 in summer) on it but have recently noticed a lot of lifter noise on startup.
We live on the west side of Michigan about half way up the lower part on Lake Michigan. Most of our trips are short and average about 400 miles per month. My wife drives it pretty easy, she's no lead foot.
Just wondering if there maybe a better oil/filter combo and OCI for this vehicle. High mileage oil? Or just stick with what I'm doing?
