Has anyone else noticed what is happening with oil containers? Today I went to my favorite America's store and bought a few quarts of Texaco Haveline 20/50wt. I have been running this in my engine forever. Seems to perform well.. Anyhow, when I opened the first bottle to pour into my engine oil spout, imagine my surprise when I realized the bottle spout was the same size if not bigger than the engine oil tube. What a pain. Oil went every where. Anyway, I'm unhappy with this turn of events. Oil pouring from now on will be very messy. No longer can you just hang it in there. John Rodgers 88 GL Driver |
