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.


Um, six quarts is the "common exact quantity for an oil change". Only
a fool would change oil without changing the filter. I'm waiting for
Harry to post a picture of the Valvoline label where says 5.5 quarts.
