I am going back to HK for all my fleet on the next oil change. $12.99 a gallon verses $21.00 for Mobil One. MORE REALLY GOOD results. Had a head gasket leaking on the 2.2 Cavalier with 10,800 miles on rebuild. Engine was rebuilt (honed the cylinder out and installed new rings). When we pulled the head off you could still see the Hone Marks in every cylinder. 10,000 miles and no wear visible cylinder wear. I EAT MY CROW and POUR IN HARVEST KING.

Had not used any oil in about 3,000 miles since I got a Valve pan gasket leak fixed. Changed oil and filter to RK 15-30 FSO. Result 2200 miles it was below the stick, no oil showing. 2. My daughters Pontiac EOTECH engine G6 125,000 miles. I have done all the oil changes and oil checking for last 2 years. It used a quart and a half on 5,000 mile oil changes. Changed it to RK FSO 5-15 or whatever the engine oil cap said. Result, My GRANDSON (proud of the boy) checked his moms oil at 3,200 miles and NONE ON THE STICK. My Dodge Charger 84,000 miles, probably consumed a quart before on 6,000 mile oil change. Has the 3.5 engine not the Junk 2.7. Changed to RK FSO 10-30. Result. 3,300 miles I heard rattling lifters and stopped and pulled the stick. I walked 2 blocks and spent $7.00 a quart for 2 quarts of Junk Oil at a quick stop to get it home. That brought it up on the stick, so it was down to what, less than 2 quarts in the engine. Good thing I was driving or the engine would have been TOAST. NOTE I been around a while. I had the same experience with Mobil One when it first came out. A lot of other people did too, Result Mobil changed the formula of their oil to stop the high consumption. By they way this is my first post, I looked this site up to post this and see if anyone else has had this Real pROBLEM????
r
k anyone else had this problem.
Have a Atwoods farm store 5 miles from me and I been use harvest king oil past 2 years also on my Suburban and it burns around 1/2 qt or so a month.
And like someone else mentioned, 15W-30 oil does not exist bro, Did you mean 15W-40 ???
