Hi all,
I just got my first diesel car, a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe with 2.2L CRDi eVGT (Korean-spec). I know this engine isn't available in the U.S., but here in Korea they don't even sell the gasoline versions.
Anyways, the first oil change isn't called for until 20,000km, but I'll probably get one done next spring and continue annually, since I drive VERY short distances (3mi commute to work, heavy city traffic).
Engine oil is expensive in Korea, and the PX only has Mobile 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40. I also have 1gal of Rotella T6 that I was saving for my motorcycle, but 1gal wouldn't be enough for the 2.2L Diesel so I'd need to find more locally anyway.
Does anyone have any suggestions on engine oil? Is the Mobile 1 ok to use, or should I stick with whatever the Hyundai dealer provides (granted it would be 4x the price).
Thanks in advance for any advice.
