I'm not sure I understand the 'it's OK for old engines' line of reasoning. If anything, old engines, with their greater blowby, etc, would benefit more from new, better oils. Sure, we used these oils in them, but it would seem to be better to use modern oils. I like better the 'cans = collectors' items' line of thought. I remember selling Duron, Nitrex, etc. at the Sohio station. Wonder what's involved in shipping oil??

There are lots of service station memorabilla collectors around the USA and Canada who love original oil cans and want them full so keep looking around. Even the cases are valuable as is so don't even break them up. Last fall at Fall Hershey meet there were many vendors getting good prices for old stock items so keep looking around. Expired brands are even more valuable - good hunting - Waterloo Guy !

Big question - cans or plastic bottles. Not much of a market for plastic, it would seem.
