Why not just use a high quality PCMO motor oil? CK-4 oil is designed for Diesel engines with 10+ gallons of sump capacity. That's how it deals with soot, not because there's anything special about it. If anything, most CK-4 oils are formulated to be as cost effective to produce as possible. Check this out: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/t...i-foam-in-gear-oil.379854/page-7#post-6811738The dealer tech also told me on two separate occasions, to use genuine Hyundai filters, so I bought one while I was there. An apprentice who had just recently replaced an engine with almost 285000k kilometers, all while Hyundai covered the expenses, joined in the conversation too. He added that the engines are replaced in consultation and at the discretion of the inspecting technician. I took that as if the engine does not show signs of neglect, Hyundai will cover the cost.
I'm considering a synthetic CK-4 diesel oil which is better suited at handling soot than oil for gasoline engines; again, if I keep it.
Run something like Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 and install a oil catch can, and use CRC GDI Valve Cleaner before you install the catch can. Check out this video, although not great, it sums things up nicely:
Do this, and your Hyundai will last for a very long time.
