They put 32 quarts of oil in there??!!

Usually when I buy 9 quarts of synthetic the auto parts people ask me what it's going in...

I wonder if anyone even blinked an eye out of curiosity when this person purchased 5+ cases of oil!

Good point, the cost alone should have waived a flag, and the counter help is usually curious.

Makes me feel alot better about blowing mine up with a meth/H20 kit mishap..

...8 gallons

Wait, how the hell do you put 8 gallons of oil in your car, maybe he thought it was suppose to be 8 quarts. That's freaking 32 quarts of oil, he must have been there for 20 minutes pooring oil.

This just may trump all of the past DIY auto stupidity stories ever.

Not if you buy your oil at walmart like I do. The counter people have no clue and can barely work the register to begin with.

Holy sheat!~ Look at those conn-rods! Maybe dude should have paid attention in second grade.....8 gallons, 8 quarts, ahhhh sounds about the same!

PS.....Petro-Jell will not ease this guys pain. 20K might as well go buy something else to go play with.
