[QUOTE="Mogumbo, post: 15850910, member: 188900"] 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.
