Default Re: Dip stick use question

An oil change will require about 4 1/2 qts to fill it up. I buy the 5 qt Castrol 10-40 jug at Wal Mart, poor 1 qt into a plastic bottle for a later date, add the four qts to the car and then add a 15 oz. bottle of STP oil treatment.
I put the bottle of STP in a pan of hot water while I am doing the task. Then add it last as it pours easier after being warmed up a bit. In the summer I can just set it on the driveway to heat it up here in Arizona.
After doing this four times I have four qts. of oil saved up for another oil change. Just the way I do it... Chap
