Family Dollar removes old oil

yeah my wife dragged me in a family dollar for the first time in years. To get some garbage easter baskets.
My instinct had me go directly to check out the motor oil aisle. They are selling pints of oil for a dollar, and I do believe it was API rated.
Nothing I would ever buy, just interesting to check out.

Yeah. I plan to run right down to Family Dollar for all my automotive lubrication needs.

It still would be good for air compressors or Bobcat hydraulic systems.
I shop for soda at Family Dollar, not much else.

That's assuming it is what it's supposed to be. Not to be snobbish, but if I were to buy something for an air compressor or an expensive hydraulic system, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if it had a Mobil or Shell or Chevron or Valvoline or Castrol or even a Royal Purple or Amsoil logo on the front, not a dollar store logo. Heck, up here, at least I know that Walmart sells hydraulic oil from Safety-Kleen, which I can trust.

Top up a rental - you betcha
I've seen oil like that. Might have been Coastal at AutoZone. On the label it clearly said it was only for antiques or for use as a general purpose lubricant (like in an oil can).
I do remember when Dollar Tree had TropArctic Semi-Sun 10W-30. It had full API certification including the donut and starburst.

Family Dollar use to sell American XT oil it was up to date on specifications. I believe it MAY have been a Warren produced oil. Used their transmission fluid for yearly changes in my buddy's old Chevy truck. The transmission was still good when it got hauled to the scrap yard with 360k miles.
