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..

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.

That's awesome...........let's hope he doesn't put Royal Purple(at $12.75/quart) in the engine like I do in my 6.

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.Originally Posted by NitrogenBalance
