C.2 FLUID CONVERSION
UNITED STATES SYSTEM
Unless otherwise specified, all fluid volume measurements in
this Service Manual are expressed in United States (U.S.)
units-of-measure. See below:
• 1 pint (U.S.) = 16 fluid ounces (U.S.)
• 1 quart (U.S.) = 2 pints (U.S.) = 32 fl. oz. (U.S.)
• 1 gallon (U.S.) = 4 quarts (U.S.) = 128 fl. oz. (U.S.)
METRIC SYSTEM
Fluid volume measurements in this Service Manual include
the metric system equivalents. In the metric system, 1 liter (L)
= 1,000 milliliters (mL). Should you need to convert from U.S.
units-of-measure to metric units-of-measure (or vice versa),
refer to the following:
• fluid ounces (U.S.) x 29.574 = milliliters
• pints (U.S.) x 0.473 = liters
• quarts (U.S.) x 0.946 = liters
• gallons (U.S.) x 3.785 = liters
• milliliters x 0.0338 = fluid ounces (U.S.)
• liters x 2.114 = pints (U.S.)
• liters x 1.057 = quarts (U.S.)
• liters x 0.264 = gallons (U.S.)
BRITISH IMPERIAL SYSTEM
Fluid volume measurements in this Service Manual do not
include the British Imperial (Imp.) system equivalents. The fol-
lowing conversions exist in the British Imperial system:
• 1 pint (Imp.) = 20 fluid ounces (Imp.)
• 1 quart (Imp.) = 2 pints (Imp.)
• 1 gallon (Imp.) = 4 quarts (Imp.)
Although the same unit-of-measure terminology as the U.S.
system is used in the British Imperial (Imp.) system, the actual
volume of each British Imperial unit-of-measure differs from its
U.S. counterpart. The U.S. fluid ounce is larger than the British
Imperial fluid ounce. However, the U.S. pint, quart, and gallon
are smaller than the British Imperial pint, quart, and gallon,
respectively. Should you need to convert from U.S. units to
British Imperial units (or vice versa), refer to the following:
• fluid ounces (U.S.) x 1.042 = fluid ounces (Imp.)
• pints (U.S.) x 0.833 = pints (Imp.)
• quarts (U.S.) x 0.833 = quarts (Imp.)
• gallons (U.S.) x 0.833 = gallons (Imp.)
• fluid ounces (Imp.) x 0.960 = fluid ounces (U.S.)
• pints (Imp.) x 1.201 = pints (U.S.)
• quarts (Imp.) x 1.201 = quarts (U.S.)
• gallons (Imp.) x 1.201 = gallons (U.S.)
