How do you measure 4.2 quarts of motor oil out of a 5 quart jug.

For real need a answer

 

Estimate what 20% of the bottle is. Or just look on the side and pour in slightly less than 1/4th or 25%

 

Or you could just guess and keep checking the dip stick.

sure its not the scientific way to do it, but since when did changing oil become a science project.

 

Checking the dip stick will not help......you must check the oil while the engine is hot because that is when the oil is spread through-out the engine and not gathered within the oil pan.

 

2 cups per pint.
2 pints per quart...

you need 8\10ths of a quart out of the bottle.

if there are 4 cups per quart... then you need to take out 3 and 1\5th cups. Use a kitchen measuring cup. Easy as pie.

Anyone thught to go to WalMart and buy a transparent bucket with measures on the side??

 

Actually, all honda engines are static type engines which means ALL fluids including
transmission fluid are supposed to be checked w/ the engine off. I don't mean to argue, but I used to work for honda and that was one of their many guidelines on how fluids it should be done.

But I think Riceboy out smarted us both
