Full Synthetic Oil vs. Synthetic Blend vs. Standard Oil

[chingbo]

Thanks Vortex, one thing I wanted was not to fill premium, because the motorcycle needs Premium & uses semi-synthetic too but wanted to clarify because of its Turbo

Much appreciated

[VORTEX]

No problem chingbo!! They are designing everything for this car to be more economical and user friendly so you aren't paying an arm and a leg just for maintenance. Just watch out for the turbo service down the road, that is gonna kill us all probably lol..

My Hyundai dealership in OKC offers lifetime oil changes, so I plan on holding them to it for my Veloster Turbo when I get it from them.

you will probably notice premium working out better as you do any car, but it is designed to be able to use regular (which I will be using)

I will also be using full synthetic and doing my own oil changes, as dealers/shops/quick change places like to charge a crap load for synthetic.. Not wanting to spend 60$ every 4-5k miles.

and Vortex, turbo service? the stock turbo (if people keep them that long without upgrading) probably wont need any type of service and if so, would be past the 100k mile warranty. If you needed to 'service' a stock turbo it would be quite easy as you would just need some basic tools, some common sense and a bearing/seal kit.. of course unless you had catastrophic failure.. in which case, buy an aftermarket upgrade for 500-600$

full synth
it does not break down as fast, it reduces friction in the engine , which also means more HP , and less heat.
there are lots oof cars that come with syth in them right out of the box, so no need to worry about waitng 4000 miles , and if , it does indeed come with synth from the factory , thats great

The car comes from the factory with full sythetic Quaker State if that matters at all.

Really?
Wow!
Good to know, thanks.

As far as the great debate goes, synthetic is good, yes, better for not breaking down when subjected to a lot of heat, could be the perfect stuff for a turbo
For myself I use it in the pickup for the extra mileage between changes, however, I do not use it in the CRX-Si, that car gets about 3,000 miles a year, and I'm not throwing away slightly used oil every year, and I'm not going to stop changing the oil every fall before storage. It's purely a mileage cost thing.

hey skywaffle,here's a fact for u. Regular oil does not break down. It get dirty and that's why it's to be changed.

[Trunorth]

Hi Turbosocks, with reg gas the timing slows down ,hence slowed performance. Higher octane will up timing resulting in better performance.

[VORTEX]

My strongest recommendation is to change it no matter what after the first 1,000 miles. My N/A V was nastty black and had a lil metal in it from assembly, haven't had it look that bad since.

My N/A V was nastty black and had a lil metal in it from assembly, haven't had it look that bad since.

That's deeply concerning
Modern engine manufacturing processes have a very complete cleaning stage
To have any metal at all at 1,000 miles id deeply troubling
This should not happen in this day-in-age

Did you have the oil analyzed?
