Do you carry extra quart of oil in your car?

Ateam · 11-28-2011, 10:55 PM

WOndering how many carry an extra quart and if so what do you keep it in or where do you store it? I found the best place is in the back, at an angel right above the little tool set. It wedges in there nicely with a towel wrapped around the bottom to make it a snug fit.

I do not want the oil being tossed around in the trunk and this is the only way to keep it stable. Any other suggestions

Mine came with a bottle of oil in a nice BMW carrying case that contains a paper funnel. Velcros to the left inside of the trunk.

Long trips, I bring an extra one too. Just incase.

I do. I just store it in the glove compartment in a ziplock bag. I hardly have anything in there.

Ateam · 11-28-2011, 11:09 PM

Wow good call. Did not even think about that. I am going to go try that!

mmm def · 11-28-2011, 11:13 PM

1sikbmr · 11-28-2011, 11:15 PM

One in my trunk as well. There is velcro on the backside.

schnell325 · 11-28-2011, 11:29 PM

^^

That's the one!

I think I've always had an extra. Last year one broke though and ruined my old trunk liner

Wow I want it!

1.Where can I buy this?

2. Does the velcro just stick to anything in the trunk area to stay put?

I leave the oil at home...less weight...better gas mileage.

Mahmood07 · 11-29-2011, 12:01 AM

I keep one in the trunk inside the compartment with the air compressor.

Sorry I am a dope! Did not even realize you had the website listed on the picture! Ordered it-9 bucks, what a deal!

Thanks for the tip, that is perfect.

You would have to be crazy not to carry a quart with you given how m engines potentially can burn through a quart on a long trip easy!

Never leave the house without it, you never know where the day will take you.

I use to do this until two emptied in there. I keep a quart in the car at all times. I usually add half when the indicator says +1 quart.

Thanks for the heads up. I hope it didn't spill already since i did a canyon run last weekend.

markjord · 11-29-2011, 06:11 AM

Mine requires a litre every 5k so I carry one when it gets close to that. Otherwise no. No need.

the oil case is $4.58 direct from BMW online. They send the order to your local dealer. Mine was $5 when I put it in the cart, but when it confirmed, it somehow became cheaper. Shipped for a buck and was in my hands in a week.

I ordered the CF keychain too, and it was $21 (List price was like 30 bucks)
