I was checking out the new Rural King in my area tonight and it appears they’ve done away with their Harvest King house oil and replaced with with Providence Automotive. Same grades and price, just new labeling.

Maybe this is why the had some Harvest King oil on sale last time I was there. They recently changed their in house tool brand too.
Design and color of that quart bottle looks exactly the same as the ones I bought at Rural King in 2015, when the brand on the label was "RK," and the back label said "Packaged by Warren Oil Company, Inc."
It appears the 5w30 is dexos approved but not the 5W-20 
Not unusual. GM doesn't require/recommend 5W-20 in their engines so there's no reason for an oil company to seek the Dexos license for their 5W20.It appears the 5w30 is dexos approved but not the 5W-20

Yessir … 0w20 and 5w30 for lions share of D1 …
Seems like a trend where existing branded oil gets a name change. I went to AAP the other day, and their Car quest brand is now Fram. Same weights and dexos approvals as the Carquest brand it replaced. I think it was a few cents cheaper. which I think is just to get it moving off the shelves.,,
Next is an extended life version called Divine Providence.
It says on bottom of back label made for Rural King and address is same.
Me thinks it just got new labels as jug style is still same. Maybe I’m just retarded

New labels yes but what does it accomplish? Going from Carquest to Fram as AAP did brought a more familiar brand name to the oil shelf. Going from Harvest King to Providence doesn’t exactly make consumers rush to the stores.
This is more like a Chinese fire drill than anything else.
PimTac: I hear you.
it is odd though, should have just kept Harvest King name

The 2.5 4 cylinder used in some Malibu's and Impala's called for 5w20 dexos.
They had the chicks...not sure about goats. But one great thing is the self serve popcorn is back!
Not here. We're not allowed to have anything, or do anything in Illinois.
Boy would love to see a Rural King here in Texas someday !!
Have seen some GOOD deals in the past
