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.
Valvaline Restore & protect is the best oil to use when getting up there in miles. It slowly cleans the engine. It’s all i run in all my vehicles now. My Clarity has 133k miles with no issues.
I use 5w-30 Valvoline Restore & Protect, I’m from the SoCal low desert region. Never had an issue, changed every 5,000 miles (nearly once a months cause I commute so much for work).
Started using restore and protect a few months and 4k miles ago. No leaks either.
I run Valvoline Restore and Protect. It may be overkill, but I change it every 4-5,000 miles.
If you wanna try and solve the oil burning though, try using either Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w-30 engine oil at your next oil change (and use it for top ups as well) or Valvoline Maxlife 5w-30. If you find your burning oil while driving, it’s probably gummed up piston rings in which case use the Restore and Protect- it’ll take a bit (4 consecutive oil changes) but it’s the only off the shelf oil available that will completely clean the rings and stop the burning.
I've been running Valvoline for the moly content. Not burning oil yet, fingers crossed.
I'd recommend using some Valvoline for your oil changes from now on, particularly their Restore & Protect line. It shut those noisy lifters up in 2 oil changes on my old '09 Avalon, and good lord did it flush out a bunch of gunk I didn't know was in there. I got a few MPG's more after it was said and done, too, and she ran happy.
0w20 provides your engine with more wear protection .
There is minimal difference between 0w16 and 0w20, with 0w20 provided marginally better wear protection and 0w16 providing slightly better fuel efficiency since it's slightly thinner and provides less internal resistance.
Valvoline is pure trash. Hardly any additives between any other lines of oil compared to competing brands.
