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
bottles!" It was right over the shelf of Valvoline otor oil in bottles,
so I bought a different brand.

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?


No, but I remember one off brand gas station that sold 'recycled'
motor oil where you filled your containers from what looked like a 1000
gal fuel oil tank. I can't remember the name of the station or the oil,
it's been over 40 years since I was there.
