I use this on my Hyundai Elantra for the past 100k miles ... It's already at 200k and the engine still feels new ... I use Valvoline for everything including power steering ... Valvoline syn blend is a great oil option ...
I had a car, 2009 Hyundai Elantra, that would endlessly trip codes for valve timing. It had 180,000 miles. I switched from 5w20 to 10w30 and never had another problem. Car went to the junkyard at 260,000 miles.
Just use valvoline restore and protect and you’re safe to go! My elantra is a 2021 with 43k miles and I haven’t had even one issue with the engine so far. I bought it with 41k miles and there’s nothing like the peace of mind I sense knowing I can rely on it to take me where I need to go. Idk if it’s the oil or what, but I’m impressed.
In my VN, always Mobil 1 0w-30 AFE.
From wear ratings and certification Amsoil, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Mobil 1 (Extended Interval). Amsoil I only use for track days, since I swap the oil out at 3.5-4K.
I use Valvoline Restore & Protect, which claims to clean your engine and reduce friction/wear more than any other oil
Through testing back and forth I think 30 is better overall and has reduced some “startup sounds” that I get
