Incorrect markings on Supertech ATF/coolant containers

[TurboTravis]

I recently found this on some Supertech ATF and coolant jugs. Here is a picture of the ATF jugs. Look at the level markings-the jug on the right has markings that indicate a liter being a greater quantity of fluid than a quart!

Here is a jug of coolant I purchased the other day. It's concentrate, so I wanted to empty out 2 quarts in order to add 2 quarts of distilled water. Something did not look right-the top black line is where the level was before I removed any coolant. The bottom black line is the actual 2 quart level (versus the manufactor marking which is much higher). I would not expect the markings from the factory to be exact, however this is not even close.

A liter is greater than a quart(33.8oz vs 32oz). the one on the left would be the incorrect one.

A liter is (a little) more than a quart-33.8 ounces, a quart is only 32 Oz. Edit-I see what you mean now, someone in the bottling plant (bottle manufacturer) screwed up, the left one is backwards!

Imperial vs U.S. quart ?

Imperial vs U.S. quart ?

Imperial quart really isn't used in the US and Walmart/Supertech's bottler/producer is US-based so it's unlikely they'd use it even inadvertently.

1 imp = 1.13 L

Maybe it's a metric quart.

I have noticed this before, I thought that the measurements were for the bottle turned upside down but who would do that and the numbers would be inverted too.

I calculated it using Common Core math, and it all makes perfect sense.

You're right-I posted this in a hurry earlier.

I’ve seen Recochem-made ST coolant at WM the other day ago. Maybe WM is switching to OWI/CCI now?

Is this new Recochem-made Supertech coolant still yellow like the Prestone-made one was? Or is it closer to green looking?
