    Which HK engines/years are affected by bad engines?

    Already found one. I don't buy new cars with more computers and modules than the space shuttle.

    5W-30 instead of 10W-30

    Lets write it all out. Some are confused on here. 1. 5w-30 is a multi-grade oil. We all agree? 2. "Typically made" with a base oil and additives. Still with us? To modify it's properties, (pause) "specifically it's viscosity" at certain temps. Don't shoot the messenger.

    5W-30 instead of 10W-30

    I agree with what you just typed above this sentence. We were talking about 5w-30. THAT is a 5 grade thin oil with viscosity index improvers by the car load to make it a 30 at 212F or 100C. That is all fella.

    20W-50 motorcycle oil in mower?

    Send you personal info to the engineers that built the engine. Tell this it's brand new all over again.

    Really, so no excess carbon and EGR's all plugged up. Great to hear. Now search the net for GDI and carbon issues. I just ran a google search. Many a page with people having excess carbon issues and how to clean them out. Google link is below...

    Gas smell in oil

    I bet they gave you some value and never really checked it. If you can smell gas, there is gas present. As we all know, gasoline is rather pungent and easily detectable.

    What does your Briggs engine manual say on oil?

    5W-30 instead of 10W-30

    No. A 5w-30 is a 5 grade oil. Let that percolate. It has viscosity improvers to make it act, as a 30, when hot. It's like peanut butter and roofing nails compared to SAE 30w. SAE 30w has a much higher film strength. Read your mower engine manual on oil. If it says run olive oil then that's...

    Gas smell in oil

    Maybe they never tested for fuel. Smells like pizza but I have no pizza.

    AC blows HOT after tightening steering rack bolts

    Yesterday my oil pressure was zero for the entire day. Now today she has normal pressure. Wonder if I need block sealer in the coolant? Just don't understand it guys. Oh now my heat doesn't work either. After the block sealant.

    Moral of the story. Stay away from any GDI engine. Don't care the brand. Too much carbon/oil burning issues later for YOU to pay for.
