I'm guessing you could find a VOA on this forum circa the date on the bottle, and not have to spend the money.

I believe this is from the late 80s/early 90s so im not sure there is one here

Would love to see a VOA, would buy one just to have as a collector item, very unique bottle!

Interesting bottle shape . I do not recall ever seeing this style oil bottle in my area the last 20 yrs. or so in any brand of motor oil. Would put it in my Ford 300 inline 1994 F 150 and motor along with no issue.

I saw them in an old probabaly 1995 detroit diesel/penske/mobil oil promotional where they tore down a series 60 engine that ran 400k miles at "conservative drains" on delvac 1300 super and then 500k miles without an oil change on delvac 1. They showed both 1300 super and delvac 1 in these jugs. Apparantly they were still used until the CI-4/SL era as theres another delvac 1 thats CI-4 plus and its more of a traditional jug shape at the gas station i found these at.

I remember those bottles. They look like 1 gallon hospital bed urinal/pee cans!

You have a strong bladder if you need a 1 gallon urinal.

I'd vote for the 347 cubic inch ticker. Every time I hear those 5.7's I have this motherly feeling that screams, "give that thing some oil!"
They make all the right noises out of the tail pipes, and at the same time, a lyrical mess of malaise from under the hood.

Amen to that. I ran mobil 1 FS 0w40 half the trucks life and it loved the thicker stuff
