Forgot that I had these,found them cleaning the garage today. 2 cans of Mobil-1 5W-20 from 1978,2 cans of Castrol from 1968,cans say Castrol Motor Oil with liquid tungsten,1 can of STP from 1968,the cardboard can with aluminum top and bottom and a ring pull top to open the can. All look like new. Trying to decide whether to keep them or auction them on E-Bay. What would you guys do with these?

I would keep them for nostalgic reasons.
Ask Blackstone why don't they test for tungsten.
Keep them on a display shelf in the garage.
I still have MMO in the original metal qt cans. They're probably worth as much as the new plastic bottles. I wonder if they have any value on Ebay? It actually amazes me what some people will sell.
I have about 6 empties, and another dozen or so that are full, all in great shape. Shame I pitched a lot of the empty metal cans. The new plastic bottles make a good funnel if you cut the bottoms off.
Cool -- I had no idea 5w20 existed back then. I thought everything in the 70s used 10w40, or 10w30?
Scott P wins. I'm going to put the stuff on a shelf in the garage next to the Man Fridge. Will make interesting conversation topic while sipping beers with my buds in the garage.
