Why bottle size changes the note
The label on a larger container does not create a universal ounce-for-ounce instruction for every package. Mark the package size prominently on a saved fill note so another driver can identify which directions it describes.
A larger-package calculation
For maintenance using the listed larger-package rate, 30 US gallons divided by 5 gives 6 fl oz. This example applies only to that rate. Consult the official chart separately for a clean-up treatment.
Compare cost per treatment
For a planned 20-gallon maintenance fill, compare the cost of one small bottle with the appropriate measured quantity from a larger container. Include measuring convenience rather than assuming the lowest container price is the best choice.
Check the official directions
Use the current package label and manufacturer documents for treatment rates, handling and application details.

Questions before you buy
Can I reuse my 16 oz bottle instructions with an 8 oz bottle?
No. The small package has different directions.
Where do I find the clean-up rate?
Use the current package-specific manufacturer chart rather than doubling an unverified note.
