I remember when..............

Remember those metal oil filler necks you used to punch a hole in the top of the oil can?? I think I still have one of those. My Grandfather sold Kendall oil for a living and I remember asking him why Kendall was called the "2000 mile oil". He told me that was because oil back then needed to be changed every 1000 miles, and that Kendall was twice as good as any other brand so the big ad execs of the day came up with the 2000 mile thingy. When Kendall came out with the first synthetic oil in the early 70's my Grandpa thought so much of it that he drove 50,000 miles without an oilchange in his company car to prove how good it was!!!

How 'bout having to bring in your battery every night in the winter, and constantly checking the electrolyte level and adding sulphuric acid?? Oh, the list could go on!!! Geof
