Here's the solution : your cam shaft position sensor is overheating and trying to save the engine by shutting it off prematurely instead of forcing limp mode. The fix is to use a Hyundai OEM oil filter, and check the gaskets/seals, then replace the cam sensor and crank sensor. I did this and never had a problem again.
Also get a good Putolator or Subaru brand oil filter that is rated for the higher Subaru oil pressure so that it is filtering more often and not blowing open the internal filter bypass because Clean oil will make the engine last longer.
I'd change the oil and filter with a Hyundai filter. Oil doesn't matter so much. These engines are very temperamental when it comes to the filters as they get higher in mileage.
All you need
to do is change your oil
And oil filter every 5000 miles OR 6 months using a high quality FULL SYNTHETIC Oil and a quality ( HYUNDAI) oil filter!!
Wait until you change the filter on a Subaru where the filter is upside down.
Try to source OEM Hyundai oil filter though. I've heard that ticking before with non-OE filters, and regardless of what shops tell you the OE filter can make a difference.
I purchased 10 pack OEM hyundai filter on amazon for $37. still have some left. 5 qt oil is $15 on sale at costco.
OEM oil filter is required in Hyundai or they will shut down and leave no codes in OBD2
With Full synthetic oil and a HYUNDAI OIL FILTER and crush washer.... $70-100.
The oil on my wife’s crosstrek leaked and had to get it replaced. Guess there’s a known issue with them
