Hi all,

Was talking to a neighbor this morning, and somehow came on the subject
of 1 quart plastic oil bottles... and we were trying to remember about
what year the change to them was made.

Does anyone here remember about when that was?

I'm thinking mid 80's or so...

Thanks in advance!

Erik

PS, BTW, I still have one of those old cans.. full and un-opened!

Sounds about right for their introduction, I would have guessed a little later
before they replaced cans entirely. BTW 100% metal cans disappeared in the mid
to late seventies and I kept my last one as an emergency spare for many years.
Much harder to accidentally puncture than the foil covered cardboard cans that
replaced them.
