Hmm, I think I wouldn't trust that mechanic again.  Sounds like the same
logic that a four cylinder uses four quarts of oil, a six cylinder uses
six,
and an eight would, of course, use eight.  Wrong.

I was at a dealership one day when someone brought their then new Dodge
Omni
in saying the engine was running really bad and had no power.  The person
had just returned from a long trip and remarked the engine oil was
extremely
low and it had to be topped off on the way home.  The service guys opened
the oil fill cap only to find the _entire_ engine had been filled to the
top.
