This full 5 quart can of lion Head motor oil was found in my uncles attic in the garage by my cousin. Another friend of mine posted it on an petrolia site and got plenty of comments and price range from 150 bucks to maybe 4 figures. So here it is now in auction format only, no ending early or buy it nows. I have not attempted to clean this can up, I will leave that up to the winner. I don`t want to possibly ruin its paint or anything else. I lightly rubbed a spot on the front to see how the red would turn out and it looks good. This 5 quart can of oil weighs almost 10 pounds, can stands 9 3/4″ tall and 6 3/4″ across. Where the ruler and red pencil is in one pic, there are a couple shallow dents to the can. Pretty shallow since they don`t seem to show up in the picture. No real rust to speak of, there are scratches and small areas of missing paint.
