    Adding a cheap quart in addition to 5qt/liter jug

    Yes, you can mix a le$$er L of oil to the mix of the 5L of oil. But, you can also buy an extra 5L jug and keep it around for the next OCI. If my vehicles took more than 5L of oil, I'd just buy 2 - 5L jugs. You can keep oil around for a long time. This way, the next time you buy a 5L of oil...

    How long should i wait after fuel system cleaner to install new fuel filter?
