The local Walmart was out of 5-quart containers. Price was great,,,

Kind of a pain in practice.

I've never seen containers like that with oil in them.  Does sort of remind me of the boxes of milk they'd put in the coolers in basic and AIT (Ft. Jackson/Ft. Polk) back in 1975.

We did have the choice of plain or chocolate.  The chocolate sound cool, when you're a "kid" but after a bit you realize it doesn't really go with a good hearty meal.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

When I was a kid my father used to like chocolate milk with pizza.

 A friend of mine has a oil and tire place. He gets the big boxes of oil for trucks that take a lot of oil. He uses an old  style oil can with the spigot.

I've got it made.  One car takes 6 qts., the other almost 7 qts. (those darn turbocharged engines).  I use synthetic oil (Mobil 1 in one of them and a Castrol BMW recommends for the turbocharged straight 6 engines).  I change the oil and filter every 6,000 miles. 

My youngest son has one of those Ford F350's (old one) with the 7.3 liter diesel.  I think he said his oil changes take about 13 or 14 qts.

I tried it and I don't like it.  It's hard to see how a box with a thin plastic bag inside plus a spout is less expensive to manufacture than plastic jug of the same size.  Plus unlike the plastic jugs, it's hard to get every drop of oil out of it.

welcome

too me... its nice you can buy that.  when i was changing my oil and doing my PMs on my car, i would have jumped on it.

at work they buy some of teh 1 qt bottles and some of the equipment will use 3~5 its, but to me, the bottles are more garbage/plastic to deal with.  Getting a 5 qt jug would be better or 55 Gal drum.    we have pumps both hand and pnumatic to transfer and empty the tanks, but no one wants to use them other than for the big quality work.

If it looks stupid but works, it's not stupid! Love that redneck engineering!
