How are you most likely to buy your oil?

[LeeA]

I prefer the 5qt jugs, but have been buying Qts for Toyota 0w~16.

 

[IndyIan]

20L pails when I can, but that's only HDEO, then 5L jugs.

 

[twouvakind]

Inevitably, a 5qt jug and a quart as I have a darn near 6qt sump.

 

[AutoMechanic]

In 5 quart jugs. For my vehicles that take 6 it’s one 5 quart jug and one quart bottle. Unless I find the individual quarts cheap like at Sam’s Club where I can get a case of 6 for cheap. Then for any car I’ll get quarts in that case. At work we get oil cheap so I get whatever the parts guy can get me cheapest that’s name brand.

New, in 5 quart, using debit card!

 

[ripcord]

I like big jugs.

And you know I cannot lie...

 

[bbhero]

I like the 1 qt container most of the time.

Though I will get a 5 qt container at times if I get a good enough deal.

And you know I cannot lie...

Saw this in a birthday card.

 

[ripcord]

Saw this in a birthday card.

Can't quite tell of those are 4 or 5 quart jugs.

We are going to get into so much trouble if this keeps up

 

[bbhero]

Yeah I think 4s.



I ageee we gotta behave now.

 

[bhvrdr]

Depends on how it comes

Whatever is least expensive, short of containers too large to handle. Lately that's usually 5-quart plastic bottles. For a long time it was 1-quart cans in cases of 24, then 1-quart plastic bottles in cases of 12. Once I bought a 10-quart can. I recall my father buying oil in 5-gallon reusable cans, and once a 55-gallon drum.

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.

You don't have to. Every 5 qt. jug I've ever seen has graduations on the side.

 

[fantastic]

2.5 gallon jugs or 5 gallon buckets

 

[Bighorn2500]

I’m most likely to buy oil on sale and/or coupled with a rebate.

Lately I’ve been catching diesel oil on marketplace from people who had a oil stash but recently sold their truck.

 

[Lubener]

The Quart
The Jug
The Case
The drum

I always buy by the 5 Qt jug.

How about you?

Whatever is the best deal, no drum buying for me.

 

[fisher83]

Usually in 5 quart jugs and in single bottles. The Kia takes 4.2 quarts and the Trailblazer takes 7 quarts.

[Revving2Redline]

Well apparently it can arrive by "hot air balloon " over the Pacific now if you live in the Northwest US & Canada but I get the 0w30 Mobil 1 in 6 pack jugs from Amazon, boutique brands @High Performance Lubricants or Redline Oil by quarts, and I ordered the Liquimoly for the older Accord in 12 bottle cases of MOS2 & Hydraulic Lifter Additive.

 

[joekingcorvette]

5 qt jug and mainly because when I refill them with old oil it's easier than to refill 1 quart bottles which I would not refill.
