Not a whole lot..a gallon maybe...if that.

Depends on the job obviously..I'd say 2 gallons was the most ever.

That’s better! I think I shall try that.

If you get the 8 oz bottle, keep it, as it is marked well. In case you buy a gallon jug or something bigger.

I like to buy 16 oz bottles for my 5 gallon can...don't need a ratio rite...so i kinda shop for those.

all 5w-30. yet look at results. not all oil created equally.

 

[RI Chevy]

Good point Ryan.
I buy the 2.5 gallon sized bottles. I have 2.5 and 5 gallon jugs.

That’s very interesting. I would have thought all 5-30 oils would flow the same in the same temperature

 

[RI Chevy]

Yikes Julian, I can't imagine what 15W-40 oil would look like at zero or below. I do use Mobil 1.

If I fill my 2.5 I like to get 8 OZ bottles of whatever..that works too.

Not a fan of Wal-Mart motor oil, but aren't 3 of those synthetic, and 1 conventional? We all know that synthetic oils flow better when it's cold

 

[huskihl]

Here's a full synthetic test. Same test. I'm still not ever changing from Rotella T conventional. Track records are better than simple tests

 

[Keith Gandy]

Yes sir

2 gallons a day is a good bit. Not sure what Ive ran in my 390 with 404 noodling but a good bit

I refill them lil bottles

A gallon on 50cc saws is quite a bit. I used about a quart today might be done might not haven’t decided yet
