I remember a valvoline ad in a auto parts store with a woman with
oily handprints on her shirt and the caption, "Real men don't use oil in

I worked in a gas station as a kid. We filled oil into glass quart
jars with a screw on funnel lid and cap to remove when filling the car
up a quart. anybody else do this?

Did it with the same top and a gallon glass jar for the Super Ag-Cat
crop dusters. P-W 985's, 7 gal. reserve oil tank.
