The wife drives a 2007 Kia Sedona 3.8L mostly short trips around town . So far engine is doing ok with a history of Valvoline Conventional which starts looking a bit dirty at 1500 miles and changed out at 3K ~4K miles. Is it better to use something like PYB or MC Syn Blend with shorter drain intervals (3K ~ 4K miles) or switch to something like QSUD or PP and take it out to a longer drain interval (5K to 6K ) miles ? The concern (as expected) would be short trips = potential for sludge and contaminants due to engine not coming up to temperaturefor any length of time . * Also some where on this site the Kia 3.8L was described as attacking oil pretty vigoriously which I take to mean this engine may be pretty tough on oil ...Your comments ?
