I don't understand why so much oil is sold in space wasting inefficient 1 qt. bottles? It's to the point that it is often hard to locate 5 qt jugs of various fluids.
I don’t find it hard to locate the 5 quart jugs. They are the bigger ones.
Yes, much simpler here - we have 1 litre, sometime 2 or 2.5 litre, 4 litre, 5 litre, 6 litre, 10 litre, and 20 litre containers. You buy the size you need.I was taught in school that USA was transitioning to the metric system 30 years ago. I'm still waiting. Metric is easier and correlates with the rest of the world.
Did he look like this?back in the day, there'd be a metal rack, with plenty of one quart (can) containers, they would be pierced with a little doohicky, twice, once to pour & another smaller to break suction. People would buy a quart or two for topping off between full changes.
Heck there use to be a bell you'd trigger as you drove in to 76 Station, guy came out, kept your glass clean, inquired about quantity & octane,
check the tires if you asked. What a world. He wore a shirt with a collar & seemed proficient. Usually had a car on the rack getting clutch or trans fluid swap or a band adjustment so you knew he was capable. Miss that.
Because the US hasn't figured out how to ditch imperial units.I don't understand why so much oil is sold in space wasting inefficient 1 qt. bottles? It's to the point that it is often hard to locate 5 qt jugs of various fluids.
Most engines require at least 4 or more qts, making 5 qt jugs the obvious choice. My transmissions all use generally 4 qts or thereabout every time I service them. Yet transmission fluids are often 1 qt bottes.
Who actually buys 1 qt of oil with frequency, by choice? It's cost inefficient, and it stores on shelves inefficiently. And it probably uses more plastic per qt. than a 5 qt jug. I often see $10 for 1 qt, but $20 for 5 qts. Who are the people buying 1 qt bottles? And why?
If you need 4 qts, you buy a 5 qt. jug for less money, and save the single qt for later. $40 vs. $20. No brainer.
I can see that. The one Diesel car I owned took 8 qrts of oil.I like the quart bottles because they are easier to pour, and any leftover oil is stored in a small bottle rather than a big jug
Most diesel engines have oil capacities measured in gallons rather than quarts
You were there too ! Yeah That's Him. Sometimes, you didn't even get out of the automobile!!Did he look like this? View attachment 67149
Dude, it's because of the anguish of the membership over what to do with the remaining 1/2 quart in the jug following a changeI don't understand why so much oil is sold in space wasting inefficient 1 qt. bottles? It's to the point that it is often hard to locate 5 qt jugs of various fluids.

In all seriousness it's likely a carryover from yesteryear. Modern packaging has come a long way from the 70s and paper-walled cans with metal ends.
Of course cars aren't the only things needing oil, there are the small equipment and OPE operators, who don't need the 5qt volume, so would say there will continue to be a market for single quarts.
