As we all know the RX-8 drinks oil. I'm tired of stopping to pick up a quart. I started buying the 5 quart jug at Wal Mart. I much prefer the 1 quart bottle. Anyone have a suggestion on where I can buy cases at reasonable prices? I'm just wondering what everyone else does.

 

i buy the big jugs and pour it into a small one that i keep in the trunk.

just keep an eye out in flyers cuz sometimes they have cases of oil on sale.

 

well i use royal purple, and the only jug i have seen is the 15w 40, so i am just sticking to the quarts

 

My RX8 never burns oil.

 

Mine sips oil, rather sparingly. At most a quart between changes. Not enough to worry about. I'm considering taking the spare bottle out of the trunk, since I doubt I'll ever really need to top off away from my garage.

Nearest discount parts place is Advance Auto Parts. With three cars in the family, I just keep an eye on their flyer and pick up a case of whatever I'm low on when it's on sale.

I keep a kit with two small oil bottles and paper towel in the pass through but the only time I use it is on a road trip. Maybe it's a security blanket...

 

Actually, that's not true—I would say it sips oil. Mine needs maybe 1/2 quart—if that much—between oil changes.

 

just buy a case of oil with like 6 quarts.

keep one in the trunk to top off, use the rest for oil change

be happy

 

its never a bad idea to keep oil in the car anyways, you never know.

i took a milk crate and used the straps that held in my inflation kit to strap thru the grates of the crate to keep it in place... i put all my spare junk and oil in the crate so its not flying around the trunk.

 

i buy the 5 qt jugs at wal-mart too (Motorcraft 5w20)

and i think keeping a qt of oil in the trunk is silly unless you're going on a cross country trip or something.

 

So what if you're out driving around, decide to get some gas and check the oil... you notice its low and the gas station doesnt have any 5w20 or your like, ahh i got some at home i'll just wait... then u forget.. :O

 

that's why you check the oil at home

you do realize as long as the oil level is between the low and high line on the dipstick, the car is safe to drive right

 

Sears, they carry the 5W-20 Castrol.

 

Redline 5w30

I get it off eBay for about AU$10 a quart (atm AU$1 is US$0.93)

 

The place that changes my oil, gives me free fluid fill ups anytime I need them, and they're on my way to school every day, so if Im low, I get mine filled up there for free.

 

I just use my coffee if it is low. Man she sure does chirp up with some StarBucks!

 

Who ever has it on sale!
