Motor Oil Change 5quarts Jug vs 5 1quart Bottles

[photo_wed]

I drive a '99 corolla and I usually buy the 5qts castro high-mileage in walmart and my car only takes in 4qts of oil. The remaining 1qt gets thrown away because I heard that once it is opened and air gets in the oil is no good or not as good. Is it better to buy five quart bottles instead? What do you guys use for oil change?

The oil is fine till at least your next oil change, as long as its sealed, to keep out dirt, water.

Thrown away? Ever hear of recycling?

Use the quart for top offs for friends, family, neighbors.... or give it away.

Oil in the bottle is good for many years as long as the cap is on tight.
