Saw them at the dollar store. API "SN" and GF-5 rated in cute little 11oz bottles.
11oz bottles now?

They are sold in some places like Sears in containers sized for a lawn mower.

I think it's a great ideal that should be more prevalent. I still got bottles of Penzoil HD 30 (VINTAGE PYB) with "PureBase" sitting around from a mower oil change years ago. Smaller bottles would help prevent my shelves from becoming the Wal-Mart oil isle.

I keep a small rubbermaid tote in my trunk that contains various travel necessities - small tool kit, tire plug kit, some shop towels, some microfiber towels, small bottle of spray detailer, etc... and a quart bottle of oil for the random urgent top-off. One of these 11-oz bottles might be a good way to keep the top-off oil on hand, and still conserve space.
11 ounces is about what a Honda mower takes. If nothing else, you could buy the bottle to use as an easy measuring device for all future mower oil changes.
I keep a Briggs and Stratton 18 ounce bottle and a Honda 12 ounce bottle for this reason. Just fill it back up when you change the oil and you are ready for the next oil change.

I dont find a that a bottle of other oil takes up much more space, so I will just keep a half quart of Pennz or Mobil in my trunk for top offs if I ever need, rather then SMB brand..
That is more expensive than a quart of Supertech from Walmart ...

Be careful, I used to do this with Pennzoil Platinum sitting behind the driver's seat and it ended up spilling. I think the motions of the car opened the top. So, I then kept an unopened quart from then on.

Perfect for auto dealerships it says in the description haha. Wouldn't the 50 gallon drum also be perfect?

Why bother with the hassle? Just keep 582 of these 11-oz bottles on hand. You'll even end up with and extra 2 ounces at the end!
