Oil Cans

[Terry Hauck]

Remember when oil came in cans like these. Found these in a corner of my garage.

I just found some steel cans from Quaker state and tranny fluid

I have several old Arco oil cans still full in my garage, 30 weight I think.

 

[Basketcase]

I remember my favorite oil spout LOL

I always just used a large screwdriver...and pretty much always made a mess...

 

[ricks_RR]

I have the can openers for them too ( the good old days )

 

[dmartin]

Yeah probably what 30 years ago yep punch two holes in them with flat head and usually found bugs in the oil if you didn’t use all at once

Wish I had a nickel for every quart I put into a motor. Had that spout you shoved into the can and only one hole was needed. But have also used the can opener. Those where the good old day's. Gas was 28 cent a gallon. Coke was a dime and crackers where a nickel. But working for 50 cent an hour. Man those where the day's.

[dmartin]

Yeah that looks familiar except it usually had Quaker State on it

 

[dmartin]

Yeah R

Yep that is the spout I used at the service station's I worked at when a teenager. Where did you find that old relic.
