That's the other solution...just make up two 5-gal jugs.

But, frankly, I just don't feel like measuring out 16 oz of carcinogenic turbine oil in some type of container; then have to clean that container so there's no oil residue; then package it up somehow so it doesn't collect dust/dirt. I'd just rather dump a whole quart in the jug (while wearing disposable gloves) and add 5 gallons of kero. Yeah, I thought the glove thing was overkill, too...until I noticed that the mechanics at my airline all wear them when they handle BP2380 or Mobile Jet Oil II (the two types I've seen on the rack).

So, to each his own. But for me, based on Juan's post (#11), I'll just add a whole quart to the 5-gal jug and be done with it...like I've done when I had jets with those purple turbines.
