I purchased a low mileage (Sub 10k miles) base model 17 Tuscon SE for my wife a few years back before the used market went crazy.
Because I completed all the recalls, I received the letter that the 2.0L NU non turbo GDI motor has been granted a warranty extended to 150k miles.
This car is paid off, my wife and I agreed that she would drive it to 150k miles.
My services so far.
Once a year air filters and cabin filters regardless of mileage of condition.
Techron every 3k.
30k miles- walmart battery replaced OEM.
30k miles- NGK Plugs (DIY).
40k miles replaced OEM tires with Goodyear.
45k miles, brake pads all the way around and had rotors turned. Fluid completely flushed with new.
At 50k miles, I had a BG/NAPA shop do some service. Changed coolant with a vaccum machine, and changed automatic transmission fluid with a machine. Mobil products used.
They also changed the oil with mobil syn blend 5w30 and a napa oil filter.
For a $14,000 used car this thing drives like a top, and I'm making sure that every single oil change is reported to carfax to keep up with the hyundai engine extended warranty.
The car uses about half a quart of oil between 3750 oil changes, the shop recommends BG Induction service for $199.
I think i am doing far more service than the average hyun/kia owner, but I think with this schedule I can get the car to 150k miles so long as I keep the oil level up.
Does the group here recommend the BG Induction services for this engine? I know I can buy GDI cleaner and spray it into the running engine, but the BG service uses specialized equipment.
