Motul xcess shorted me.

[Bullwinkle007]

I bought a 5L jug of motul xcess 5w40. That is equivalent to 1.37 gal, well I poured it into a 5qt jug, which is 1.25 gal. The motul jug didn't even completely fill the Pennzoil, 5qt jug.
It is short by 1/2 qt of the fill line on the 5qt jug WTH

What's the difference between 5L and 5 qts? edit: Just googled it. I'd get in touch with Motul. I'm sure they'll fix it for you.

5L is approx 5.1 quarts

They certainly didn't give you any xcess oil

Bullwinkle crossed his liters and quarts.

I had a similar issue with motul's 20L container my Camaro takes ~10.5 quarts still needed ~1qt extra for my 2nd oil change.

I buy Motul Xcess 5W40 in 20L jugs, but I usually spill about 5% of it while pouring, so who knows if they shorted me...

It's 1.32 gallons. There is no fill line for the 5th qt. It's not supposed to completely fill the bottle. How would you pour the oil if it did?

My IPad says 1 liter is 1.06 US quarts and 5 liters is 5.3 quarts which is 1.325 US gallons.

That's what I'm saying, it didn't even fill a 5qt jug, it was half a quart short of filling it. You know the Pennzoil jugs have the clear window on the side. I used a funnel to pour it into the Pennzoil jug

Where did you buy this?


This is becoming a common question on this board.

 

[Hounds]

Maybe it settled in shipping.

There ya go. The answer is to buy oil where you can see the bottle before paying.

Can you post some pictures of the jug you've got?
I'm using Motul 5w40 xcess from rmeuropean and I don't remember being shorted.
https://www.rmeuropean.com/Products/102870-MFG1401-V8499.aspx - this is exactly what I get from this store

I've noticed tho that the pictures of 5w40 jug on Amazon are way different. Also, it's overpriced on amazon.
