Perhaps, but it depends on how much he drives. If he's doing 2500
miles/month, he's right on schedule.

Brand of oil is largely meaningless, since any oil that meets API specs
is going to last longer than Hyundai's recommended 7500 mile change
interval. That's doubly true of synthetics. Tests I've seen on synthetic
oils indicate that there's little practical difference between them.
Even Walmart's low-priced, house-brand "SuperTech" synthetic seems to be
as good as the big name oils. I've used it with no problems, though
lately, Pep Boys has been running specials on Pennzoil synthetic at
~$2/quart, so I've bought some of that.

I would say the same thing.

True, but few people drive exactly 7500 miles each quarter.

Can you point me to these tests. I've never seen the off-brand
SuperTech tested anywhere.
