Oil pouch?

Went to pick up my Low Ash oil from the local Cadet dealer today. Opened it up when I got home. Its in POUCHES!! Not certain how this is going to work, may be easier to pour. HMMMM, may be NASA approved--isn't that how the astronauts get their meals?

It may be easier to pour, but probably also easier to spill. Is there any way to measure how much you're putting in?

With a dipstick!

Although I never had oil in bag containers, my concern is how to store what's left over? Safely and without a mess.

I think it will be okay John, it has a hole in it already for hanging it on a IV bag pole.

I hope the cap screws back on! If not I’ll save a couple of my old style bottles and empty in there.

Well the Onan is the only one that has a consumption issue but it can go 2-3 tanks of fuel before topping off. The IV has s not a bad idea for hydro oil.

OH, I did not see the cap! That might be alright. I was afraid these bags had a ziplock

Call me old fashion, but I would like to see the Motor Oil Cans go back to the Tin Metal type. I still have the "stick spouts". Once you are done, you can throw the can in the recycle bin.

I still have 2 metal quarts of Castrol "R" 2 stroke oil.
(The bean oil that smells soooo good)

Seems like motor oil went to paper cans in the early 60's (Sunoco did anyway)

Heck no. Those cans were a pain!!! We were still getting them up until the late 80's here for the farm. Opened many of them with a "dedicated blade" on my knife or a screwdriver. Then roll a funnel out of an empty seed bag. One tractor had saddle tanks, had to crawl underneath or lay on top of the tank to add oil--daily. EDIT---the ones we used were metal top and bottom, paper/foil sides. I ain't quite old enough to have used the completely metal ones--but I do have an unopened 1 gallon metal can of Havoline motor oil.

I bought close to 2 dozen of the openers for like a $1 each from an IH dealer. Think they had the part# on them, but no IH marking. Gave some away to friends, sold some to an NOS parts supplier, probably kept a couple for my collection. Need to see if I can find them. Bet Lew ain't got one of those!
