Hello All,
Tomorrow I am doing the first oil change on my new to me 2013 kia forte. I was curious about what to do with the extra oil(5w-20).
The car holds 4.1 quarts (roughly) per oil change, with a 5.1 quart bottle that means I will have a whole quart left over, and every 4 oil changes, i should have enough for a oil change without buying a whole 5 quart jug. However.. since the car is under warranty, i am keeping the oil and oil filter receipts to prove that i purchased oil for the car.
So to me with the left over oil I could do one of 3 things..
1. Hold onto it, at normal intervals change the oil when i have enough left over, still generate paperwork (and excel file saying i did the oil change with left over oil from the previous changes) and file it with my normal paper work. The issue here.. is will the dealer try to fight me on any future warranty claims?
2. Purchase a 5 gallon bucket with a lid, start dumping extra oil into this, for when the car is out of warranty.. (10 years or 87,000 more miles..) This may be too long for the oil to sit.
3. Jump the Kia up a grade to 5w-30 and use the left over oil, for make up oil in my Saturn, because I know.. the Saturn will burn more than enough oil for the both of my cars.
Finally I guess i could give the left over to my brother for his ford Taurus which burns a little oil, but he uses the same brand and weight of oil as my kia, but wheres the fun in giving away oil??
Let me know your opinions, thanks!
