Is it possibly the > difference between imp. quarts and US quarts, or is it that 1 liter is > 1.057 quarts? Anyways, I used to buy oil at a FLAPS that was imported > from USA, and the bottles were marked with 1 quart/ 0.95 liter. There was another mention of 1 gal = 3.8lt, (4 qts = 3.8lt.) This also works out to 1 qt = .95 lt. Now that I look at it closer, that would mean that 1 lt = ~1.05 qts which is about the number posted above. If your oil bottles were rounded from 0.9461 to 0.95 liter, then this would all be consistent. I know that a few people posted the exact conversion factor earlier. Is this what it was? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
