It may be the 900lb. gorillas that throw the boxes
around when they stock the shelves! But in my humble
opinion (and it is humble,mind you),Castrol Syntec
bottles,wherever I see them,usually at K-MART,are
oily.And it is a phenomenon heretofore
untransmitigated onto other oil bottles (of other
brand-names,which I`m sure have their own WONDERFUL
properties,low ash content,high flash point,etc etc.)
Steve P. P.S. Has there ever been a pirate that has
uttered the words,"CHIPS AHOY"? Just curious.
