I changed the oil in my moms 2004 trailblazer at Express lube, wtf, 7 qts! The tranny only holds 5 qts....hmmm.

those Inline motors have huge oil pans.

ford f250 14 qts
freightliner semi 42 qts

C-130 with four T-56s 48 gallons.

dang im glad i dont have to foot that bill...

Thats allot of oil!

How bout a fuel burn rate of 735 gallons an hour? that works out to roughly 2.6 mpg.

Sorry for the thread jack - Herc, when did you move to Georgia?? I must've missed that while I was in boot camp.

I moved back in October.

I posted my 7 qts because I actually had to pay for it. I don't think you see that bill there Herc, thank goodness.

I've sold an oil change to a few semi guys that come into work. They typically buy three cases of Delo or Rotella (6 gallons to a case). We don't sell the oil filters, but one guy showed me a ticket for one: $92.

That makes them around $200/oil change.

Wow...now imagine a fighter jet in afterburner...lol

yeah and most semis have 2 oil filters and 2 fuel filters and i chance them all every oil change then about once or twice a week you have to lube the 5th wheel alot of grease

i didnt have to float the bill for everything but i had to keep track of what parts i used and on what truck number. but its amazing to see some of the maintence costs for a fleet of trucks
