Based on the Caterham Blend oil (50% M1 0W20 + 50% M1 0W40 = 0W30 synthetic oil with enhanced properties) , I am now researching if this might be the "holy grail" of synthetic oil for GDI turbo / non - turbo engines ? ... In the Hyundai line the non - turbo 2.4L would get the standard Caterham 50 - 50 blend of M1 0W20 & M1 0W40 while the 2.0 turbo GDI engine would get a 60 - 40 blend of 0W40 (60%) and 0W20 (40%) ... In a GDI engine with it's inherent challenges I would run these blends in the 5,000 ~ 7,500 mile range in mixed driving conditions . I'll go out on a limb and say with the recent Hyundai 2.4L GDI connecting rod bearings issues , the Caterham blend might offer better start up protection all the way through better protection through operating temps ... *Anyone given thought to experimenting with the Caterham blend in GDI engines ?
Please Note : To date Hyundai does not list a 0W oil in their owners manual - conversely , the Caterham blend is a high quality oil that would exceed any oil that Hyundai would approve .
