I'm taking my 2016 Veloster Turbo w/DCT into the dealership tomorrow afternoon. Currently, 128,000 miles on it and it is burning oil like it is going out of style. I always do the oil changes myself with Mobil 1 Extended Performance Engine Oil High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-30 and I use a Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filter.
I change the oil and the oil filter approximately every 5,000 miles. Yes, I realize I could wait to change the oil until 7,500 miles (Mobil 1 guaranteed protection up to 20,000 miles or 1 year between changes for both the oil and the extended performance filter)
I change the spark plugs every 20k-30k miles. Replaced the serpentine belt under 10k miles ago
I feel like the engine should not be burning through oil, certainly not as quickly as over a quart every 1,000 miles.
I'm seeking advice from anyone who has successfully navigated getting Hyundai to replace their engine. I'm concerned that they aren't going to openly admit the engine is flawed and put a new one in it without some push-back. I am basing that concern on the research I have done regarding the many (oh so many) issues I myself and so many others have experienced with the DCT and Hyundai's lack of response to remedy its functionality.
Any and all advice is welcome and appreciated.
