Service Chevrolet in Vero Beach FL figured out how to squeeze 7 qts of oil
into my Town Car. The owners manual says the engine holds 6 qts with the
filter. To do this, they charge $6.85 per quart for Mobil 1 instead of the
regular $4.25 I pay at WalMart. The extra $2.65 a quart enables them to
compress 7 qts into 6 qts. Clever huh!!

I believe, if you re-read the OP, the point was that the dealer made seven
quarts worth of profit for a six-quart oil change by charging more for the
product than the OP would pay at Wal*Mart..........

Hey... at least they didn't put in seven quarts.
Then you might really have some real trouble... engine trouble!
