Back in the 60s, Royal Triton

[tig1]

Back in the 60s and early 70sI used an oil called Royal Triton. In poured out of the bottle purple in colar and at the time seemed to be a good product. Does anyone remember this oil, and where did you use at?

Here's an ad for Royal Triton from the 50s:

It was a Union Oil brand, later Union 76. The color was a dye.

ConocoPhillips owns the trade name and still uses it.

I used it as far back as 1952. It was OK but not as good as the original Pennsylvania based oils. John--Las Vegas.

I used it in the early 60s and had no problems.

I used it all the time in my '70 VW Bug when I was growing up in Milwaukee. 10w30 flavor in winter.
I thought it was cool being purple. I alternated that with Sears Spectrum.

I used it in 2007 and it produced excellent results.

Man, they sure don't make em' like Marilyn anymore...
