It’s fake news lol.

this was the funny part 😂

“Because of these high pressures, Paul says fuel can easily leak into the valve cover and into the engine oil.”

most gas engines are direct injected these days.

edit: not a bad idea to ditch the Hyundai tho btw, they do have engine issues but it’s not from the fuel system. It could play a part but if it’s truly oil dilution then they have piston/ring/block issues with their engines

It sounds like the cylinder walls or piston rings are disintegrating. Hyundai/Kia gets high marks in JD Power initial quality, long term not so much.
