Bought oil from Walmart in a 5 quart container

My car holds 41/2 quarts including the filter but had to put it all in to make it full?? So is Walmart cheating the public?

@Lilnonames if we read well then its 41/2 quarts which is 20.5 quarts...

@BeachGirl47 reread my post

@Lilnonames ah sorry.

@BeachGirl47 it's ok🤗
Unlikely, those are filled automatically by weight but it's possible that you got one that was a bit shy..
It takes a bit for the last pint or two to seep down into the pan especially if it's cold... but half a quart over isn't a big deal and you probably wouldn't notice it on the dip stick..

No harm, no foul as far as I can see.

It's possible some leaked out of the jug on the way to walmart. I found a five gallon bucket at TSC that had maybe a gallon missing, pointed it out to a salesperson and got it for half price.

its possible the assembly line made a mistake or your car might hold more i have same problem at times

@olderuncle944 been changing it for three years now so I'm saying it's them not me

@Lilnonames i agree it does happen once in a while in manufacturing

You overfilled it.

Maybe the dip stick isnt the original.
Lilnonames · F
@LunarOrbit I've had the car three years if you reread the container marked 5 quarts Only had 4 and half quarts in it as the oil is correct the dip stick is correct
