There is net capacity. For example fifty gallons liquid. Adding the
manditory ten percent expansion space requires a 55 gal barrel
A five and a half quart container holds five quarts a common exact
quantity for an oil change. Many cars take just exactly that. It is
way more than you need for a Kawasaki twin, 20 hp,[ what we have] or
anything similar.



We have other items in the garage besides autos that have four-cycle
engines. That's why I buy the jug'o'oil. I suppose if I were as dumb as
loogy, I wouldn't appreciate that.
