    I’m going to the dealership next week to get it “officially” determined, but I think I’m burning over a quart per 1k miles.

    I wouldn’t expect that for what I’ve done - faithfully getting oil changes and using synthetic.

    Not really sure what to think except that I’ve grown skeptical of the brand unless something changes. Around 18 months ago I was told I should expect 200-240k miles if I take care of routine maintenance.

    Edit: did you use any additives and if so, anything you’d recommend?

    I’m hoping this 150k extended for the rod bearings comes into play, but my experience with Hyundai dealerships says even if I qualify, they may try to say I don’t.

      I didn’t use additives - I used Amsoil Signature Synthetic. On my current car I get Pennzoil Platinum / Ultra Platinum. On GDI engines, the oil’s breakdown resistance is a big deal. You can tell what oil isn’t good by how much faster your car burns thru it.
