Still using Amsoil 5W20 OE in our 19 Santa Fe. Very happy with this oil, 5K-6K OCI's depending on weather and how I fell.

We drive the same type roads as you I believe, dirt ,mountainous, hilly and freeway. I believe our conditions including winters colder than most is harder on oil.

Back on topic. We took a 2/1/2 day road trip covering 600+ miles with 2 nights in a motel. Driving conditions included lots of curvy mountain roads, flat straight roads with lots of elevation changes.

I will ad that putting Amsoil products in the driveline, engine, trans, diffs. of our Kawasaki side by side definitely made it quieter.

Same with our TrailBoss and new Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness. Note My and @txabCVT temps are much lower than @Grumpy Bear Mitsubishi Jatco with Redline CVT

All Amsoil driveline fluids in our Santa FE yielded better trans shifts, quieter motor, transfer case and diffs. The OE line or standard line of products is what I use. The top of the line fluids cost aren't justified to me because I change fluids more frequently.

I use Amsoil's OE line of motor oil (5W20) in our 19 Hyundai Santa Fe. I noticed today on the web site it now says (47% more wear protection1 than required by the GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification). Maybe I  missed it but I don't think so.
