I have read enough horror stories of Korean 2.4 engines grenading. Most-all threw rod bearings - a minority premature to symptoms and suddenly (within 300 miles of first hearing abnormal engine sounds). Most seem to happen prior to - or near 125K.
My questions are multiple. But your remedy-answers might only be one sentence.:
How do I lessen the chance of this happening to my 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.4 GDI?
Is there a good preventative medicine for it?
Is it oil?.... 4k OCIs using mostly Pennzoil Platinum Ultra and top-tier fuels?
Is it an oil additive I need?
Do I keep the RPMs always below 4?
Do I sell - or trade-in my Hyundai (with only 11k) this year?
I realize most-all of the horror stories were vehicles prior to 2017. But it's still occurring, but in much lesser numbers. As far as I'm concerned no vehicle from 2017-forward should throw rod bearings. That's insane and that's why I might sell my almost new Hyundai, which I currently like tremendously.
Is there some magic potion to guarantee my rod bearings more miles...... like beyond 150-175K at least.
