After reading more from my own link, I saw the following: > Formulated with more anti wear additives that stay in your oil longer, FSwMT supplies 40% more anti-wear film than Mobil 1\*. So, I guess the extra ‘anti-wear film’ would be either too much or useless for a newer engine. I know this thread seems like this to some people: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/0/020d253fb6f36d21f1902eaf64b8fb29b0afc10f.jpg) que sera… ---

So FSwMT is Valvoline? I’m a gonna stick with Mobil 1 though. ---

Yes, FSwMT is Valvoline 0W-20 motor oil. It explains that in the full paragraph that I cut and pasted from. ---

My three vehicles take 4.5, 4.8 and 5.5 quarts respectively. Five quart jugs work great for me! ---

Joe Guy, My 2012 Camry LE takes 1,6 Qt when it is down to the fill line. At least that is what the book says. I have never seen it down even a half quart. The book also says it takes 4.7 quarts to fill but it takes 5 full quarts to hit the full mark. ---

Sorry, I didn’t click on the price tag to get to the Walmart ad to see the various products. ---

> [@FoDaddy](#): > > TR6 takes around 5.5 to 6 quarts depending on how much has leaked out. English sports cars… We can’t STOP the leaks… But we can slow them down 😀 I can always tell the Brit race car paddock at vintage races by the oil slicks on the pavement! ---

I just call it the chassis lubrication system 🙂 ---

Like the old Harley’s, if there’s no oil under it, there’s none in it. Simple. ---

That’s like the old joke about Lucas electrical systems in British cars. Three position switches: On, Off, and flicker. [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/i-think-we-need-another-oil-thread/96237.md?page=1)
