Anyone else notice that every fluid capacity required for our cars is just a little more than what is in the container?
I just bought oil, rear end oil and friction modifier.
Oil needs 8.5 qts - whether you buy two gallons or 8 qts, you still have to buy that extra quart for the 1/2.
Rear end oil needs 5 pints - only sold in quarts (2 pints each), you have to buy an extra quart to get the extra pint.
Friction modifier requires 5 oz. - only sold in 4 oz bottles, you have to buy an extra bottle to get the extra oz.
Extras =
$13.00 qt oil
$23.04 rear end oil
$9.80 friction modifier
Total of $45.84
Other fluids I did not buy, but...
Transmission fluid - comes in qts, needs 2 1/4 quarts, so you have to buy 3...
Engine Coolant - comes in gallons, needs 15.2 qts, so you have to buy an extra gallon...
Extras =
$19.08 transmission fluid
$35.12 antifreeze
Add these extras to above total, if you just change these fluids, it’s a total of...
$100.04...
in extra fluid containers you have to purchase to get the fraction more that you need.
You throw in Ford Hotdogs and Buns, 10 wieners and 8 buns - extra pack of Motorcraft Buns, $3.02.
So for complete fluid change and lunch, extra fractional purchases come to:
$103.06
I might sound paranoid - but just multiply that times 10 million Fords (conservative estimate), and Ford bleeds us for an extra:
$103.06 x 10,000,000 = like 700 trillion dollars.
...just saying.
