For the 2.0T Hyundai recommended 5w-40. There was a TSB issued around 2012. If you've been keeping up with oil changes then that restore and protect isn't needed. I have 160k miles on my 2013 2.0T. Oil changes every 5000k/6months using the OEM filter.
Have you not watched any of my other videos talking about the owners manual and what *1 says? I guess not. That is 10+ year old oil technology information the Valvoline restore and protect is a new age oil with more technology than any other previous oil. There is a reason why they don't offer a 40 viscosity oil in the restore and protect line.
Using since September in my 2014 GMC Terrain AWD (2.4L Ecotec). Documented my XG9018 Oil Filter Swap @3008 miles (and after 114 miles) in a couple of Short TH-cam Videos... The filters have been Dark (but not Sludged thankfully) and the Oil itself is still relatively clear/golden... Going to see if Oil Analysis will let me go 4-5K miles comfortably... Had Oil Dilution problems (5.5%) previously, hopefully VRP will help reduce that (along with Maintenance and Driving Style Changes I'm currently at 1.3%... Apparently staying under 2.0% is key... Realistically I'd prefer "Trace" or maybe under .5% (Maybe not possible with a GDI engine but I can hope)...
It would be but Valvoline doesn't make a 40 viscosity in the restore and protect line of oil and I think I know why because of how this is made and what it does.

Sounds like it works well for many others good to hear it's working for you.
Isn't 5w40 more preferable?
