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.

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.
