So I might sound crazy but I have purchased two 5qt bottles and 8 single quarts of Pennzoil Ultra over the last year and have noticed that both 5qt jugs and most of the individual quarts have had visible oil residue originating from the top/lid area, they are still sealed but it seems like this oil likes to "creep" it seems, it got me thinking, I do know esters have am affinity to metal, but that doesn't really explain its affinity to creeping up the neck of a plastic the bottle, I've used many different oils over the last 2 years, (castrol edge, mobil 1, trop-artic, maxlife blend) and none seem to do this, does anybody have a theory on this? tell me I am not a crazy person.
Pennzoil Ultra creeping out of bottles, esters?

My jugs of mineral Rotella 15w-40 do this. My bottles of PYB do this. Are you telling me they all have esters in them?

Castrol won't seep cause it's got a foil seal...
I have seen this, its because it doesn't have a foil like other brand names do.

Opened jugs, I put some plastic cling wrap over the hole and put the cap on.

I have one qt in my stash that does the same. It too is PU.

It's just because they don't seal them with foil. It works it's way paste the plastic cap/paper seal and down the threads.
Maybe it's hallucinogenic so you only think oil is creeping out of the bottles
?

That's what I was thinking.

Pennzoil is great oil but they don't put the inner seal on their jugs and they always seem to leak.. Ask the guy that cleans the shelves at wal mart he knows that all to well. That is why sometimes i don't buy Pennzoil although Pennzoil is my favorite oil. Mobil 5000 has the inner seal and that is a plus because it does not leak.

It's a little frustrating because of ten qt bottles, 3 seap. No matter what you do to clean it, you come back a week later and the bottle is shiny on one side, again.
