Never used them on the Sprite, but how many people remember (or ever
used) "reclaimed" oil. This was oil that had been drained by service
stations*, and then sold to refiners who then re-refined, or recycled
it, and sold it as reclaimed oil at a fraction of the cost of a new
can. As a poor sailor, I used it whenever I could not afford the
preferred Castrol 30 or Kendall.
Don't forget drip oil...when the attendant added a quart to your car, he'd
stick the cardboard can with the spout he'd jammed into the top, into a
opening in a 5 gallon can, and when all those drips of oil finally filled the
can,
sell it for 20 cents a quart...
Had to be careful with those recap rubbers Buster..

laugh at science fiction listen to weather forecasts and economists?
