help with oil
Don't put anything in your oil -- a good oil should have plenty of detergents to keep things clean.
If you go with Dino, Chevron DELO 400 15W-40 or Shell Rotella-T are great. Just change them at 3-5K intervals. If you go partial synth, go with. Mobil 1 and change it at 5K. Few Mobil 1 are "full synthetic" despite what their marketing says. If you go full "Mack Daddy" synthetic go with Red Line. It's expensive but the very best. Motul is also an excellent choice. You can go extended drain with these & change them at 10K. Cheers, Gerry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Oil test
You might consider getting your oil tested after using the MB oil & then the Hyundai oil. Check out BobIsTheOilGuy.com. Do a search on the BITOG website for oil test & it will give all the info. Costs like $25 or $35. Anything other than a test of how your car reacts to either is only conjecture. Hyundai makes some good cars & their engineers aren't going to screw them with bad synthetic oil, but do the test to prove it. My 2 cents.

There is no need to change the oil prematurely. Change it according to the manufacturer's schedule, but not longer. Additives in the oil are made to last a certain duration (hours of use) which is approximated by experimentation in the lab. The result of this is that you may be really cheating yourself on the oil you buy. Never overuse oil, but changing oil too often is wasteful. Case in point: I bought a military diesel truck at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton. They shipped it to Michigan. Before departure theu changed ALL the fluids everywhere. Then they set off on the trip. I go to the yard to pick up the vehicle. Delays. Why? " We couldn't find any paperwork on maintenance so we changed every fluid in the vehicle." I found the paperwork later under the seat! Complete fluid change after 500 miles, lol!
