Mobil 1 0W-40 in jugs?

[john1944]

I sent an email to Mobil 1 and asked why Mobil 1 0W-40 was not available in 4 or 5 qt. jugs since it is available in 4l. jugs according to this site:

This is the answer I received:

All motor oil should be sold in 5 quart jugs, unless the oil isn't designed for oil changes!

MJ doesn't know the difference between "to assess" and " to access." That's reassuring.

The funny thing is, he probably didn't come up with it on his own, but instead copied and pasted it from some central database of typical responses, which makes ExxonMobil look even worse.

But my car requires over 5 quarts oil! I prefer buying a 5 liter jug plus a 1 liter bottle.

Seems gallon or 5 qt jugs would be appropriate for 0W-40 since most cars specifying this grade have larger sumps.

As an owner of (2) 4qt sump cars, I currently don't have much need for qt bottles.

Most people use inappropriate oil. They don't read 250 page manuals. Gary Allan claims the latter.

Don't fret; sooner or later they all will die.
