Let's be real, in Miami there are not too many days that are not good for an oil change. As opposed to here in NY where I would need to lay on some snow or ice and slide under vehicle. But I can get under all my vehicles with ramps. And I like to do final dipstick check with vehicle level on the ground.

Why but oil in QTs and not gallon or 5 Qt jugs.

Probably cause the 5w40 isn't in 5qt jug yet. Least not at my autozones
 
Yeah, yesterday was a nice warm day to work on the car. My steering has been a little funky since putting tires on at Halloween. Found out one of the ball joints is toast. I guess the safety inspector missed that but struggled to inspect the brake shoes (he could not get the drum off).
 
First time using STP Euro 5w40 and as Car51 points out, it isn't available in 5qt jugs.

Uh, oh... reading your post, I realized I may never do another oil change on my old 530i, as I am hoping to replace it with something newer this Spring. But who knows... I may still do one last oil change as a farewell gesture.

Don't assume the new owner will do it right away. Put the good stuff in there.

UH Oh now you have done it...

You can’t put Euro Oil in an Asian Car - thing will probably blow up tomorrow...

(joking of course)

Not really a nice day for an oil change here, but I do not really have any oil that needs changing, so that is good...

Not sure if you know, but Fram increased PSI strength to 300 in the 9688. Per, Motorking. Same filter on my Montero!
