The price is the same for the new can as it was for the old can (but we are selling off some of the old cans that we have left over).
Yes, there is a bit more plastic (admittedly, I don't know how much) and that has been brought up with Millers. I can't remember the answer, but I think they reckon it was offset to an extent by not wasting oil. With oil cans, you pretty much need to use plastic, except there are a couple of companies that are now doing 15L/20L/25L cans that are done like boxes of wine, with a thin plastic bag inside a cardboard box, but I don't know how well that would work for 5L cans, I could see them not liking being stacked on top of each other.
Cheers

This is true, but you forgot to add the 'BE CAREFUL' warning!Donald wrote:You know if you turn a bottle so the opening is pouring from a higher level than the majority of liquid, you avoid that annoying glug glug jobby that results in oil everywhere.
Once upon a time I was filling the heating oil tank in my garden from a 10 gallon drum, perched precariously on a little step ladder with this drum on my shoulder, I took the advice above and had the pouring spout up high, I started pouring ...and it came out like water from a fire-hose! The drum emptied in a matter of seconds - all over the tank, the floor, me, the ladder.... so, by all means, do as Donald says, but please take care when doing so

I also have one of the rolson thingies but its always full of grit so a bit of post is what actually gets used

donald is correct, the only way to fill anything is to turn the bottle round the other way that you would think it would be and pour from there. harder with engines though as you cant get the same angle normally. Only thing to do while filling generators while they are on. you cant afford to glug it but you need 4x the control as the weights all off.
I can see these being VERY useful for people who are not confident with engines, or their hands. A real aid to my missis and her ilk thats for sure.
Whats the drippage like after close? how much oil remains in the dispensing tube?

I just buy cars with oil in them then make sure I sell or crash them before I need to put more in
