Need a little advise...
Just bought the wife a new car since she's going to be driving about 50 miles one way to work starting next month. Couldn't justify doing that in the Tahoe.
Anyway I'm looking for a little help on oil recommendations. I plan on using synthetic and I'm looking for something OTC. I've always used Mobil 1 because there is usually one auto store running a sale on oil and filter but I'll most likely be using the OEM Hyundai oil filter while I'm still in warranty.
Car has 300 miles on it and I plan to do the first oil change at 1000 and then hopefully every 3000, but with the long commute racking up miles quick and 2 kids keeping us busy oil change intervals in the 4000/4500 range will likely happen once or twice.
We live in OK so weather can be extreme with summers reaching 100+ at times and winters occasionally dipping down to the teens. Car will be garage kept so at night it won't see temps to low. The commute is 50 miles one way all on the turnpike so she'll be running 75 mph back and forth.
Dealer said they use 5w-20 but the oil cap says 5w-30. Should I be considering something besides Mobil 1 5w-30?
Side note, are there any recommendations for engine break in like don't use cruise control for a certain period etc..
Here's pic, it's will definitely be a transition learning how to get in and out of a car again versus climbing up or falling out of the Tahoe.
