So I am coming up on a 7500 mile drain interval on the Pennzoil Ultra with a total mileage of 11.5k. Should I get a UOA on this one or wait until the next given how new the engine is?

I think I'll be taking the Wetter back and exchange it for something else!

So the dealership made a bloop. They put on a Hyundai filter with a bad gasket...they say time to time that happens (which doesn't have me too excited). So by the time I got home, about 1 qt of Penzoil Ultra spewed all over my drive way and the road. So I took it back to the dealer and they...

From what I have read on here, it seems that adding Water Wetter would really do all of nothing given the car uses modern standard coolant for its aluminum radiator...is that correct?

Sounds good. I think I'll stay with what is in it given it sounds like that is the best way to go! thanks everyone!

Thanks for all the advice! I guess since I have the 5W30 Penzoil Ultra and got it for really cheap I will give it a go and send a sample to Blackstone after 7,500 miles. If it doesn't look good, I'll give a few of the other oils listed here a shot. The factory oil is being changed right at about...

Originally Posted By: HTSS_TR Stop and go traffic for hours at a time is very hard on oil because the oil temperature can be above 220-230F, 5W30 is a better choice than 5W20. Would 10W30 be wise or is that too much stress on the engine for cold starts?

Would this have any advantage in GDI engines using a standard ethylene glycol base for an aluminum radiator? I've used this stuff for years but from everything I am reading here it seems that this stuff has no real advantage when adding to modern coolants...

I love this forum btw. If I ask most people they tell me go with Royal Purple or something. If I ask people here they talk about UOAs and specifics which I love. Thank you everyone for your replies I have a 2012 Hyundai Veloster. I just got it 3 weeks ago and already have 3k miles on it. I am...

So here are the official specs from Hyundai: They use and recommend Quaker State. Isn't Penzoil and Quaker State under the same parent Shell company? The standard changes are 7,500 miles, give or take, supposedly using dino oil (I have a feeling it is actually a syn blend but who knows)... The...

So I was at Walmart today and Penzoil Ultra was a dollar more for 5 quarts than Platinum. All they had was 5W30 so I took a 5qt case of that for $25. That seemed pretty cheap. Think I did well?
