I didn't know that a turbo, wasn't a sealed unit. So does the motor oil also lubricate, the turbo? Or is there a seperate oil filler for the turbo? I remember working on a 06 impala, the idler pully was lubricanted by the oil pump..
Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic
Advanced Full Synthetic with superior Active Cleansing Agent
Thinking of Trading up to a full synthetic? Next-generation Pennzoil Platinum Keeps pistons up to 40% cleaner than the toughest industry standard.1
Wear Protection
- Cleans out engine sludge better than our conventional and synthetic blend oils2
- Better for severe driving conditions than conventional and synthetic blend oils4
- No other leading motor oil helps keep engines cleaner5
- No other leading full synthetic oil provides better wear protection6
- Exceeds the most stringent car manufacturer requirements for cleanliness and protection7-Including GM dexos18
While all motor oils are designed to offer wear protection is just one part of protecting an engine.And it's a fact that no leading full synthetic motor oil provides better wear protection than Pennzoil Platinum.9

1 Based on lLSAC GF-5 and Sequence lllG piston deposit test using SAE 5W-30.
2 Based on severe sludge clean-up test using SAE 5W-30.
3 Superior vs. our conventional and synthetic blend oils.
4 Examples of severe driving conditions are stop and go driving, frequent short trips, extreme hot or cold temperatures, extensive idling, driving with heavy loads, driving in dusty conditions.
5 Based on Sequence VG sludge test using SAE 5W-30.
6 Based on Sequence IVA wear test using SAE 5W-30.
7 Based on GF-4, Ford, Chrysler and GM specifications.
8 Applies to SAE 5W-30
How do you square that with the fact that Hyundai Korea, who design and develop the engines, never make this information available to the general public. The Hyundai marketing company in each country publishes the information but almost every country is different in it's service interval requirements.Hyundai has your best interest and that of the car in mind
Excellent Excellent post and entirely correct!If you choose synthetic or conventional, neither of those is a spec. Hyundai recommends, SAE 5W-30/API SM/ILSAC-GF4/ ACEA 5. These are specs, and not difficult specs to meet at that. Most ots oils are SN (which was partly developed for turbo protection in mind) /ILSAC GF5. At the requisite oci's of 3 or 5k miles, a top shelf conventional oil will do fine. Hyundai would not offer a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty if this weren't the case. Synthetic will give many of us peace of mind but it isnt necessary according to the manufacturer at these intervals. Heck, in the owners manual footnotes, they even allow for API SL. So, if using the aforementioned SN rating, your already way ahead of the game.
Also, many of us conduct uoa's and critique it as poor because at 5k miles the particular car's TBN is 1, the oil has sheared from a 30, to almost a 20 weight and/or the additives in the oil appear to be almost depleted. But if the the most important information, the wear metals number, show under universal averages while on a conventional oil, the lube actually did its job. This is not a poor performance.
