Ok I decided to post this I humor because it's prob not worthy of posting in the actual useful info
Names and faced have been changed to keep from throwing a friend under the bus
1998 4.3 GMC
Checked the oil not showing on the stick had been driving for a few days like that put two quarts of GTX 5w30 just like the cap says ....... Still not showing on stick friend had no more oil ....... No prob I have bunches of top off bottles various brands but for some reason no 5w30 of any brand
Mystik 15w40
Orielly 20w50
Bag and box Amalie/STP 0w20 Castrol 4T 10w40
Amalie/STP Euro 5w40
Amalie/STP HD30. Offered up any of those oils to top off to get him back to full this is where it gets comical ..... He refused any oils I had be cause a everything I had was either to thick or thin for his truck that it would be worse to use the wrong weight than to run it so low it's not visible on the stick
I shrugged my shoulders so hard it hurt and kindly told him I live for I told you so's and that get to the store and get some 5w30 then like right now ....... He said oh no it just blows it right out the tail pipe and leaks it if filled up
Fast forward two more days and who knows how many miles I grabbed a bag and box of Amalie/STP 5w30 for the oil collective I keep saw the guy again and said I got 30 quarts of this for a steal at AZ please for the sake of engines top that thing off it's the "correct" weight .......
He says I can't use STP I give bro I give
