About quarts
The quart literally means 'quarter gallon'. Like the gallon, the US Liquid Quart is smaller than the Imperial Quart. It is a familiar size in US supermarkets for liquids that are too much for a pint but not enough for a gallon. In the US, it is close enough to a liter (approx. 0.946 L) that they are sometimes treated as roughly equivalent in casual conversation, though the quart is slightly smaller. quarts are commonly used in Motor oil, Yogurt containers, Paint cans, and Soup broth, Ice cream tubs.
A bottle of motor oil is usually 1 quart.
About gallons
The gallon is a unit with a split personality. The US Gallon (approx. 3.785 L) is based on the pre-1824 English wine gallon. The Imperial Gallon (approx. 4.546 L) used in the UK is about 20% larger. This divergence happened when Britain updated its standards in 1824, but the newly independent US stuck with the old wine gallon. Today, the US gallon is the standard for fuel and milk in the United States. gallons are commonly used in Gasoline sales (US), Milk jugs (US), Paint buckets, and Water consumption tracking, Aquarium sizes.
A large milk jug in the US is 1 gallon.
