Default 4 gallons of oil?

Stupid expensive diesel truck oil changes. Luckily I like to exceed the oil change mileage by 120% or so, so it's not costing me $500/year in oil.

Anyway, thanks to Cory for doing it! Nissan $ < Ford $, and Nissan Service > Ford Service!

Actually, I lied. It's 14 quarts... which is 3.5 gallons. But since it's sold in 4 quart jugs, I had to pay for 4 jugs and I've got half a gallon left over.

Actually, Bob was supposed to do my oil change today, but there was apparently some incident with his head falling apart or something so he was out sick.

I was there most of the day, but I had to make an emergency trip to the dentist. Besides you wouldn't have wanted me working on your vehicle, not with all the vicodin I had in me. (for the pain)

Wow, and I was shocked by the 8 liters of oil required for the Landcruiser. That's so much oil.
