I remember helping my dad out changing the oil in his cars when I was kid. He let me shove the oil spout into those cans. I felt like I was such a huge help :D

I'd bet there is a large number of the younger crowd that have never seen a oil spout, much less shoved one into oil can.

Just how old are you?:eek::eek:[ddd:cool::cool:

heheh! I still have a few spouts of different kinds laying around....figured I'd keep to confuse some of the younger crowd occasionally. Nothin funner than finding a little cow-eyed young gal that has a look that lets ya know the lights are on but nobody is home...hand her one of those and let her see if she can change to oil.

You better be careful messing with them young'uns. But have fun doing it.

There was a Standard Oil Co. station that my Pop dealt with close by. He sold oil by the can but he also had the cheap stuff out front right next to the pumps. He had a small metal wire carrier that held 6 or 8 of those bottles. He'd refill those out of his bulk oil barrels....always 30 wt. non detergent!

That's the ones. I think they just ran it through a paint strainer and called it good. [S
But i used a lot of it, went along with $.25 gas :D

(Now i feel really old if you remember your pop doing stuff i did :()
