This is for sale on eBay. I have never seen this style before, any idea what year this is from?

I can't say I've ever seen a can like that , let alone a quart can .
Pete . :)

Yeah. Who would have the need for that much oil when a Simplex already gets a hundred miles to the gallon! LoL Never saw one before.

Tom, you were my ace in the hole for this question. I thought you probably had one already.
Did anyone here buy it, as it has sold already.

Couldn't resist! Supposed to arrive Tuesday.

1946 Price list includes quart cans of Servi-Cycle oil. 1950 Price List shows 8 oz. cans of Servi-Cycle oil. 1953 Price List shows 8 oz. cans of Simplex oil. 1936 Owners manual states quart cans of Valvoline Servi-Cycle oil can be purchased from Servi-Cycle dealer or the Valvoline distributor. 1936 oil is put up in sealed quart cans, has a Servi-Cycle label on the can, and is made in two weights - the one is marked "For Summer Use", the other is marked "For Winter Use". In the event you cannot secure this oil locally, use a first class Pennsylvania oil with an SAE rating of 70 for summer use, and an SAE rating of 60 for winter use. Your can might be from 1938-1948?

Instructions on can are the same as the little ones. 16:1. The H manual I posted here talks of the quart size can. So that would support Dicks 1946 price list also.

Early manual I just posted also speaks of this size can. Logo matches up.
