I drive a 2013 Jeep Wrangler and it takes 6 quarts of oil when doing an oil change. The big plastic jugs have 5 quarts so I was having to buy that plus one additional quart. I recently found at Walmart that Havoline now sells synthetic oil that comes packaged in a plastic bag which in placed in a cardboard box. The great part of this is that it contains 6 quarts of oil and it costs $20 which is nearly the same price as the 5 quart jugs of other name brand oil. I have used the Havoline box of oil several times now and it is very convenient.

It's been out for a year. I presume the OP has done 2 or at most 3 oil changes with this 'box'. He/she just says "several".

My truck takes 7 quarts, so I just "Frankenbrew" whatever is around & whatever I found on clearance.

The Kia Optima takes right at 5 quarts, so one easy jug takes care of that.

I'm waiting for the Havoline boxes to go on clearance before I buy any!

Buy two boxes. The extra quart from the Optima will complete the oil change for the truck. $40 for two vehicles isn't bad.

This is same oil in 5qt jugs just packaged in 6qt containers.

It's a 6 quart box.

A 6 gallon box would weigh about 43 lbs. plus packaging.

At our lab we would get 275 gallon "totes" of atf which weighed approx one ton.

A pint is a pound the world around.


That's for water (close, not exactly), other things YMMV.

Not sure that "pint" is used anywhere outside of the US or UK pubs.
 
Regarding this "oil-in-a-box" from Havoline, it appears to be a Walmart exclusive. What areas see these ? No Walmarts in the Cincinnati, Columbus, or Dayton OH area have this.

I'm old. I admit it.

I have not seen the boxes either at my local Walmart. I would order online for store pickup. In my case, Wally's was out of stock when I needed it so I ordered the old fashioned five quart jug instead. Not quite the savings though but the same product nonetheless.
