1 quart [US, liquid] = 0.946 352 95 liter

?????????????????

So you know that 1qt=0.94635 liters, in another words, 1 qt is less than 1
liter .... notice the: ' 0. ', Zero < One.
But, still, you think that ONE quarter is bigger than ONE liter ....

It looks like you are 'Mathematically Challenged'.
Apparently it was not me the one talking out of the outside valve of the
Colon.

It might depend where you live. I live in NC, and UV is pretty intense here
in the summer. I had a gallon jug of Glyphosphate - Round Up - where the
container got brittle enough that it cracked wide open from being left in
the sun. My red gas cans have a severe case of sun bleaching, also..

Have been changing my own oil for 40 years. never had a problem. Speaking
of oil changes. Went to the dealer and got oil filter for new 06 V-6
Sonata. cost me 8.32 and another 92 dents for pan drain crush gasket. Now
find you can get them for 6.52 at hyundai parts on line. anyway dealer
says we'll NEVER get aftermarket filter replacements for the V-6!! Isn't
"never" a long time??

Sure, NEVER is a long time. But the dealer figures that if you believe
him, you'll be hooked buying the filters from him at $8.32.

Speaking of which, I'd like to know where he got that crystal ball that
tells the future. It'd be useful for all those times when the service
advisor doesn't understand why I cannot diagnose a problem which occurred
one time three months ago.

I am in Long Island, NY. I have actually been thinking of moving to
NC, but not for a few years. Know any cheap but nice condos? I don't
like too much heat, so maybe your brittle cans should give me a hint.
