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?

Yup, our oil came in 55 gal. drums.

How about an oil can drainer.
A funnel that held 6 cans, and drained into one.
In a day or two, a free quart of oil.
