Add some Slick50 to it and your good to go.
Cause if that old oil don't kill it the Slick50 sure will.

Very cool can........ The guy I work for part time has a collection like Frank from American Pickers has. HD oil cans and various automotive brands from back in the day. Very neat collection and just cool to see the various designs on the cans...Great artwork back then. !!

We know it is not good oil, because we have all been told by the great all-knowing supreme oil expert that there is only one oil to be considered useable...
