Default i just got scammed

picked up a jug of oil from autozone the other day for the same price i usually get it for at walmart. im out in my garage just now cleaning some stuff and i say to myself hmmm, this jug looks smaller. i look at the other one i had from walmart and the autozone jug is 1 quart less or the same price! what a rip!!! reminds me when i bought a 6 pack of coronas, got all the way home and it turns out they are really corintas or whatever they are called and half the size.
so beware guys, check the damn size

Actually it's always been 4 quarts at the parts stores (= 1 gallon). Walmart changed things up and did the 5 quart jugs, which is not the norm, but it makes sense since most cars take 5 quarts.
