Not possible, unless the packaging is ridiculously heavy, which is very unlikely, considering the price.

I'm not yet convinced this type packaging can be emptied as thoroughly as a plastic bottle, as easily.

 

[JohnnyJohnson]

What I'm wondering are we going to see more Warren oil products move to the box?

 

[BLND1]

So this is confirmed bag-in-a-box? Or 12 quarts?


I like bag in a box but if it's much more than havolines 6 quarts it's going to be a bear to pour from the top.

Oil is 7-8 lbs/ gallon. 12 qts = 3 gallons so 21-24lbs. So volk06 isn't far off, depending on box weight, guessing 2 lbs.

A pint is a pound the world around.


That's water.

Is there a spout or a spigot to pour the oil? I'm trying to figure out how to lift a 24 pound box and then pour the oil through a funnel without making a very big mess

7×3+2=23
23<28

Very good point here ^^^^^

Hopefully it has a spigot...

I boycotted the six quart box and will boycott the 12 quart box also.

Depends on what you're driving. If it's a 6 or 8 quart rig, it might be more frugal to load up on a 12 qt. box. Economics, man! ...

Two five quart jugs then .... Easy Pour, man!

I'd rather pay a few dollars more and display convenience/easiness of use.

Amen! It's all about the coin and convenience, baby!

 

[D1dad]

Agreed. I haven't looked at a box of oil yet but you'd have to have an Old jug to measure what your putting in your car. I'll just use 5 quart jugs.

Spigot... just sit er on the shelf and dispense away! You could take the bag out towards the end to squeeze every last drop of oil and I'd just put the used oil in milk jugs for taking to the recycling. For measured dispensing, no need to make it complicated just use cleaned and dried out milk/water/SunnyD or old ATF/Coolant jugs.. or whatever. Use a sharpie to make hash marks on the jug side denoting qts 1, 2, 3 and so on. Easy peazy, lemon squeezy.....

 

[Triple_Se7en]

You would likely need two milk jugs for recycling.
Instead, make sure to buy the XL laundry detergent jug or the XL fabric softener jug - rinse thoroughly and enjoy many / multiple reuses as a recycle container.

 

[JustinH]

If you have cats, we use the big cat litter buckets for used oil storage.

They each hold about 15-20 quarts of used oil.

I take them to walmart and dump the bucket once a year, done.

 

[shrooms]

Don't throw away windshield wiper, engine coolant and large juice bottles.

 

[Bryanccfshr]

Nice dispenser.

I think it's dumb that oil comes in a cardboard box.

LOL isn't that what they said when wine started coming in a bag-in-box. Have you been in a liquor store lately? It's a boutique thing now

 

[FordFETruck]

I saw this in walmart today, figured it was a case of individual quarts at a good price. Didn't realize I could buy that and pour out enough for a sip once in a while...LOL
