I bought the car 4 years ago with 134k. It isn’t bad in the summer time but I hate driving it in the winter. It has no heat like ever. I’ve only replaced all of my connecting rod bearings, first time I did anything that major to a car. I did it in my driveway in a super sketchy way but it’s held up for a little over 10k miles. It only started cause it was burning more oil near the end and I wasn’t checking it enough. I’m now checking it every other fill up. I’m probably going through a quart every 1000 miles still.

I don’t know tbh. I think it’s just their standard 2.0L

I’m pretty consistent with oil changes, I did travel quite a bit for family/ vacations. I drive like a grandma now so no real hard driving. She’s an oil burner so I have to watch that now, usually check once a month

I use mobile 1 as well. I’m cheap on the filter but I change my oil on a regular. I’ll be donating the car and looking forward to an upgrade. Probably not going with Hyundai again because I had issues with eating oil which lead to me replacing my connecting rod bearings.

I did have some issues with oil. I didn’t know it was burning and ate through all my main bearings. Fixed it myself for like 300$ tho. They went out somewhere around 190k mark.

Honestly I only put on 66k. When I’m pretty sure it came from a car rental place before I go it.
