Who here remembers doing this?

worked pumping gas in 82...... still had them then...... a select few customers would receive an "air quart", so we could have beer money

if they needed a quart, they got a real one and an empty one
if they were already full, they just get the empty

Dad should have taught them to always check their own oil

 

[RussT Plymouths]

Yes. Pops still has a few of the cardboard cans in his shop. Made a mess when the cardboard folded while shoving the "dull" spout in. You had to remember to look for the sharp one.

 

[1967coronet]

Yes, and I still have one in the shop.

 

[Dave6T4]

Yes, I remember. Does anyone remember hand pumping bulk oil out of a 50 gallon barrel into a glass quart jar, and then screwing a metal spout onto it, before pouring it into your engine?

 

[RJ Squirrel]

He hates the cans!

 

[Moparfiend]

Sorry to tell you, you ARE old. And, I'm even older... but I can read this font without reading glasses.

He has like a year on me and yes OLD AF lol

 

[moparedtn]

Yes - of course!

 

[Jerry Hall]

Yes, still got a couple of the spouts and a few cans of unopened oil and transmission fluid.

 

[oldkimmer]

Yes. First with Dad, then my own cars for a couple of years.

 

[Hikin Mike]

Yep, I was a Petroleum Transfer Engineer (pumped gas) in the early 80's and the oil companies started using the plastic cans. Loved it because I didn't have to deal with the spouts.

 

[Hey-O]

Yes.

 

[Photon440]

Yes.

 

[69 mayflower]

Yep, still have a couple around here.

If you used to do this simply reply “YES”. Everyone else reply “?” because you probably just don’t know……

I am old enough to
remember these just before
they went to the paper cans.

Getting boned either way lol

 

[pricer140]

Yes.

 

[maxwedgechar]

YES! And I still have a bunch, one or two still on the cardboard card in the shrink wrap! And the cans, Pathmark Supermarket brand ATF and American Motors Limited Slip oil some of which is in Max's SureGrip. But most of the time, at home, we used a "Church Key".
