Like you say, Diaqueen is only in 5 gal jugs at the dealer. I said to the parts guy, "You must have a jug the mechanics are using out of?" Yeah, they did, a little less than half full. I bought that one.

If you don't wanna go with the stock diaqueen, go with Motul 90 PA only

Search and you will find that this is the oil that is closest composition to diaqueen in a better version.
