Yes. I have a 2011 Elantra that goes 500 miles per day. I switched the oil and transmission to amsoil at 115,000. (I wish I had done it sooner). After the change I noticed a 4 mpg increase on the highway (65mph) and noticeable power increase. It is currently at 165,000 miles give or take and running as if new. It does not burn or leak a drop of oil.
The first change was at 140,000 (25,000 miles since original flush). I did not do an analysis at this time.
I am awaiting an oil analysis to decide weather or not to change it again. I think I will be able to go another 25,000 miles (10 weeks) on the same oil making it 50,000 miles on the same oil.
Out of pocket cost (after initial flush) is $12 every 15,000 miles for a filter and $38 for the oil analysis at 25,000 miles. I recommend sooner than that if you suspect anything wrong with deposits, iron, overheating, etc. The analysis tests for many different metals including oxidation levels and water deposits. It is a great tool to diagnose problems other than oil.
The only thing I dislike about the Elantra is the air intake design. I have to clean the air filter every week (2500 miles) or it clogs with bugs and junk. Amsoil does not make a filter for this car :( but K&N does and it works great. It was installed at about 30,000 miles and is still in great shape.
I plan to install an amsoil bypass system which would possibly allow me to never need an oil change. I will not be surprised if I get 500,000 miles on this car due greatly to the high quality of amsoil.
