Why in God's name would someone make a 5.28qt jug of oil? I know I'm simple minded, but I much prefer oil to come in round qt amounts. Unfortunately, I just realized this was the case when I was surveying my stuff for my oil change. Now I have to leave the dregs in the bottom of one of the loose qt jugs.

 

What you got was a 5 LITER bottle. Sounds like it was meant for Canada rather than the US. The 5 quart bottles are just that, 5 quarts.

5 liters = 5.28qts.

 

juneau76 i went and checked my stock of motorcraft syn blend and it says 5qt and (4.73L) and i have never seen any 5.28 qt jugs ?

 

Mine too.

We have a mystery! Well, not really 'cause I think kingfish51 hit the nail on the head.

 

Ha. Who TF, in a civilized METRIC world, where Soccer, not "foo'baw" is the world's #1 sport, would make a '5qt jug' of anything. Hell, they's ain't even Imperial quarts!

No wonder yer miles per 'gallon' is so chitty

Yo silly 'Murricans ...

HA! Look at the Canuckistanian calling the kettle black!

Who in their right mind uses L/100KM?

Must be a result of too little sunlight and too much Canadian Club.

 

Y'all would be surprised at how many L's of CC we can consume in 100km !

What engine are you doing the oil change on that uses exactly 5 quarts anyways?

 

I just went and checked mine and it says 5 quarts too. One time I went to wally world and bought a jug of pennzoil long ago and when I dumped it in it was black! Some *** hat changed the oil in his car and put the old oil back in and returned it for a refund. Always check the seal before you walk out the door with it.

 

Not an *** hat; just Canuckistanian that changed his oil after a 3000KM trip and couldn't remember which jug was which.

Imagine AutoZone's surprise when they found a full, new jug of Pennzoil in the oil recycle bin.

 

Wasn't this Canuckistanian - I NEVER touch that Peenz-oil crap.

We've got a winner. I just went back out and it sure is a 5L jug. I got it at the local Autozone and they had a full shelf full of them. What a pain.

I have the 5.4L. I got a 5 Liter and (2) 1qt jugs for a total 7.28qts. I was shooting for 7qts.

 

My new filter usually takes about 1/4 of a quart just to wet the paper, I dont see a problem with .28 of a quart extra....

 

Our local Autozone sells them the same way 5.28 quarts. They call it a 5+ jug, says it right there near the top of jug. Now what to do with .28 quarts of oil. I guess after 34 oil changes I will have enough to do one for free.

 

If i'm not mistaken (read somewhere), Wally World has a contract on the 5 qt jugs.
