Whether you use the best oil or just regular old Dino oil it won't make a difference with that engine.
I agree, just use the correct viscosity and oil change interval and you'll be good to go.
No one's talking about what the "flaw" is in this engine! Millions of cars will go on without a hitch...others will die early in their lives. Personally, I will opt for better protection...and checking the oil level once a week.
My engine’s flaw had to do with a cylinder losing compression and losing oil. I do not think it’s related yo the flaw that kills peoples cars. I check my oil every other oil change.
I just checked it today, and it looks fine. In fact, the oil looked clear, not colored at all as I’d been used to before with my old engine.

According to the whistleblower (written in Korean) there is cylinder distortion (over-heating) of #2 and might be what you are describing with your old block.
I had radiator fan failure, overheated, but still haven't kill the engine. How much does it take to distort the cylinder?
Skip the 5w20 and use a 5w30 or 10w30.
Whether the issue is resolved is unknown. Some of us will blame Hyundai forever. Others will blame consumers that never change their oil, never top off their oil, and use bulk cheap mud oil along with generic no name filters when/if they ever change it. I see it as a combination of a short fuse and clueless owners.

I did notice after engine replacement that the new engine had new spark plugs as well. They are ngk iridium plugs. I had new plugs I was going to put in but then the engine problems started. So after engine replacement I went to do them but found it had new plugs already.

Would be nice if someone would inform my regular dealership that the replacement engines come with new plugs and new coolant so they quit telling me I need to do plugs and flush the coolant...
Sounds like they want to squeeze money outta ya after replacing your engine under warranty.
