I know this has probably been posted 10,000+ times in the past month but I couldn't find anything exact to my situation so I wanted to ask.
I've been using 5w30 Mobil 1 extended performance in pretty much everything I own for years. My last two engines were 2012 GM 1.4 turbos and I ran them for 10,000 miles and even at 142,000 miles my last engine looked like brand new when I pulled the cam cover. I still have a Cruze that has 80K on it, but I traded my Sonic in.
I just bought a new 2019 Hyundai GDI 1.6 and noticed it calls for 5w20 on the cap, but the manual claims I can use all kinds of stuff. I think it calls for changes every 7500.
99.99% of my driving is 40 mile trips on interstates to and from work at 60-75mph. Very few short trips so I don't think moisture has ever been an issue for me.
Should I continue using Mobil 1 extended performance 5w30 in this engine which is the same as my other car (GM 1.4T) and my lawn mower, snow blower, generators etc. Or buy a specific oil for it? With my driving habits do I need to do it every 7500 or can I squeeze 10K out of it like my previous engines?
I've never owned a GDI engine before but have heard rumor that they can be finicky. This being the case, I will go out of my way if it matters.
