How are you most likely to buy your oil?

[slacktide_bitog]

it depends on the car.

For cars where it take exactly 5 quarts, or near enough where I can just dump it in, then buy the jug.

Otherwise, individual quarts. If the car only needs 4 qt, I'd rather have an unopen quart bottle than a big jug with hardly anything in it

I hate the 1/2 qt in a 5 qt thing.

I buy the 5 liter jugs here in Canada.

5qt jugs. My car calls for 10 qts so I dump in two containers. Wife’s car calls for 5 qts so just one container. Easy and no leftovers besides a quart used for top-off when necessary.

I prefer jugs but if they only have quart bottles that's okay.

 

[SaberOne]

Gallon jugs here. The LS3 in my Chevy SS Sedan holds exactly 2 gallons.

5qt jug is cheapest per quart, so I do that. But I generally only shop at Walmart, so I'm likely missing out on some deal someplace else.

I used to prefer single quart bottles, but since I have to dump the waste oil back into the containers, I think I now prefer the 5qt jugs instead.

Clearance.

5qt/5l jugs when I buy at the store but my LM kits I order from FCP will have the exact volume so 1qt/l as well. HPL stuff I use I went with the gal containers this past go around.

So do you actually send the oil back to FCP too? I did a LM kit once with the R but was switching to MOTUL on the next one but always wondered about that, cost savings after shipping back.


I buy jugs and quarts due to different specs between vehicles and extremely metric sump fills. 8.1L? Really? LOL

Jugs. Either 4, 5 or 10 quarts. The 10 qt jugs only for HDEO.

I'd like some of those 10 quart Jugs sure would simplify the OCI's for the Duramax.

Rail car.

86,000 liters @ .875 SG.
If the empty tank car weighs 60 tons (120,000 lbs) and the loaded maximum is 143 tons (286,000 lbs)
How close are we to being max'd out if the car has a 450lb conductor standing on one end?

Bottle of jug is cheaper rather buying individual bottle of qts

Walmart carries them. I usually buy them at Tractor Supply when they have a sale on their house brand 15W-40.

 

[ZZman]

Whatever is the lowest cost per unit volume but I'd never go up to a pail or a drum. Lately that has been jugs but I prefer the packaging convenience of the quart (litre for where I live) containers if I had a choice.

Forgot a pail

My Walmart stocks two on occasion Mobil Delvac and Rotella T6.

 

[JeffKeryk]

Maybe I'm just cheap, but don't you waste more oil with, say 5 individual quarts vs 1 full 5 quart jug?
In science class we learned to use the appropriate measuring device for the best accuracy.

 

[Warlord]

I like big jugs.

 

[Heywood_6078]

1 - 5 qt jug and 1 qt.

 

[CleanSump]

5qt jug. Sometimes single quarts to round out to full OCIs.
