Engine VN Oil change Discussion

Yes, there is another thread, we really don't need another oil thread. I just realized this is actually a deleted member and a guest, for what ever reason.
 
If I change my own oil, will my warranty be voided?

Nope! It is illegal for companies to void warranties based on people doing their own maintenance and service. I know this is true in the US. I would just make sure you keep a receipt of the oil and filters you buy and put a spreadsheet together with all of the maintenance you do with date, miles, and service performed.
 
Ok good. Just making sure there's no peculiarities with this company. I saw someone had posted in r/veloster about hyundai voiding warranties.

First time Hyundai owner. I used to own a stage 2.5 wrx sportwagon. I have always done my own oil changes.
 
I'm a bit tired of moving and merging the whole day, because some new (and also old) members can't use the search engine. The forums fill more and more with duplicated rubbish because there are some lazy people in here, moving the whole work to the 2 active Mods.

My bad, this thread didn't come up when I searched for some reason.
 
This thread will likely get moved, but in the meantime my only worry for you is the ACEA classification being A1/B1, A5/B5 whereas my manual states ACEA C2 or above. That said, I am certainly no expert on lubricants.
Yea I saw that too, the manual also says that you can use the latest ILSAC rating which this oil is. so it's a little confusing which one they want you to use.
 
Ok, I went on the forum called Bobistheoilguy, they are oil fanatics and It was recommended to me to use Ravenol REP 5w30. It is a high-quality German-made oil with API SN rating and ACEA C3 rating it's specifically designed for cars that are raced or driven very hard on the street, plus it satisfies the Hyundai warranty police on oil certifications. It is quite pricey here in the states i.e. about 50 dollars for 5L. It's overkill for the street unless you are really beating on it on some back roads but I dont mind spending some more money to have some more peace of mind. The cheapest place to get it is Blauparts.com.

REP might be a liitle more robust as far as ht/hs but I've been using Ravenol DXG and been happy with it. It's sn+ and d1g2, lspi is something I wanted to try my best to remove from the equation and I don't track it so the lower ht/hs will hopefully not be an issue.

Also can get it from Blauparts.

Good to know, I make a habit of not putting my foot down all the way until 3k in order to avoid LSPI.....hopefully. Does your manual also say "API latest(ILSAC latest) or ACEA C2"? I figured since its SN rated it will be fine but I wonder if they mean SN+.
 
My manual says the same. While I think sn+ is a good spec for our engines I don't think it's necessarily included in the "API latest" called out. I think that just means SN, like you said.

The next API standard is due in 2020 and should include all the lspi stuff that dexos 1 gen 2 and sn+ targets currently.

What about Shell Helix Ultra ECT 5w30? I think this is the same stuff as the Penzoil?

Believe it or not the mechanic at my dealer freaked out at the suggestion of the stuff because on the shell website it lists the 0w30 version...even though we’re heading into summer and night temps won’t even drop below 15C. I didn’t argue and let him put his oil in there...
