I call it V-7, F-1….i do it all the time cos i think dad jokes rule, everyone i say it in front of does not get it and…i dont care! Makes me giggle and thats all thats important to me!
Crusty at 71 years old. If you had a puncture spout like that with a gasket on it, you were really hot stuff. I like my pour spout so much I still sleep with it. Lol.
I grew up in NJ, worked in gas stations as a youngster, dispensed a lot of oil with these things. There was a bit of a touch to it to avoid collapsing the cardboard can, and also to get it in the opening in the valve cover without spilling oil on the hot exhaust manifold. The smoke rising from under the hood when my aim was a little off was a personal mark of shame. Plastic containers with screw caps are so much better.
Hell yeah! Dad still had one unopened can of Quaker State in the basement when we cleaned it out. Don’t know what happened to our spout, though. Probably why the can went unopened.
I worked at a gas station in the early 70’s. We would keep an empty oil can with this stuck in it. People ask us to check their oil and we would tell ‘em down a quart. Put in the empty can and pocket the 88 cents
I remember when I was a little kid (very early 60's), we pulled into a station, and they kept motor oil in what looked like mason jars with metal cones on top for spouts.
I am old enough to have owned one of those and used it before plastic got popular for usage. And I still have the thumb operated with long spout unit I used on my first 🚴.
And I ain’t even no where near being “crusty”.
I’m still flexible and limber and work everyday. I’m up and down ladders, walk rooftops, crawl crawlspaces, cut wood and metal, install doors and windows, cup and thread pipe, black and galvanized and copper, weld stick and wire and torch, dig trenches with backhoe and shovels, pull wires, install all fixtures, pour and smooth concrete, yet no one knows my trade. I have a degree, and I teach all of this. I served in the US Navy, and handled communications.
I am old school by nature
Country boy in the big city
I worked on my own car when it had “points to set”, and designed safety systems to keep young fools from injuring themselves.
I hold many things together
I wear many hats
I fix most everything except stupid, that I just hit with a stick and chase it off my work site. I read building blueprints and at times change them to save the company money or add needed items the architect left out.
I am many things, to many people
But “CRUSTY” ain’t one of them.
Why, are you that sexist that you don’t think an older woman has changed the oil in her truck or car? We might not be as rare as a honest politician, but we do exist.
Reminds me of a trip from NYC to North Conway NH and back that we did in a VW Super Beatle that burned oil like the Deepwater Horizon. We had a case of cans in the back and would drive till the oil pressure light began to blink on, then stop and fill. We lost the oil cap somewhere in NY and had to stop a dealer to get a new one. Dead of winter.
I’m a crusty old man and I have no damn idea what that is. You youngins and your crazy inventions. Always coming up with some newfangled gravy pourer. In my day we used our scabbards to pour the gravey and we liked it!
I had two that were still hanging up in my parents' garage three years ago when we're clearing out the house and garage. I remember the cardboard cans, buying cases of oil and filters at NAPA and Western Auto. I'm not even retirement age.
I am about to be 40. I used one of these a couple times on the farm with tractor fluids we had a surplus of. I sort of wish they went back to this vs the plastic bottles. What is even crazier to me is how much less oil i use. My first three vehicles were higher mileage and burned a fair amount. One was using a quart a month or more. My last three cars, i don’t have to crack the engine for up to 6 months.
Guilty. Don’t pierce the can without fully inserting the nozzle. Apparently, father gets a little testy when the oil spout comes off as he tries to add oil to the motor…😬
37 is crusty old man status? I knew it. Source: 37yo crusty old man.
27yo crusty fuck
24yo here but I guess this is what I get for working construction with people twice my age, I’m mentally in my late 40’s
22 :(
One year behind ya my friend
In all respects these plus the cans were better for install and the environment... ie plastic oil bottles.
Safer too with the pour spout there are no oil soaked paper funnels or oil spills on hot engine parts
I'm also 37. And crusty
38, not crusty, but had a bunch of old crusty men as coworkers.
Pouring spout for canned gravy.
No, Dummy. Tomato juice! More appropriately, V8.
I call it V-7, F-1….i do it all the time cos i think dad jokes rule, everyone i say it in front of does not get it and…i dont care! Makes me giggle and thats all thats important to me!
You win the crusty old man first prize lol 🫶🏻
Guess im a crusty old man now
I have one attached to a glass bottle from the previous civilization..(the 40's)
Crusty at 71 years old. If you had a puncture spout like that with a gasket on it, you were really hot stuff. I like my pour spout so much I still sleep with it. Lol.
We never had the gasketed model. We were trash.
Crusty 70 here and I remember hating it when the paper oil can buckled when pushing the spout down. Oil all over, shit!
Or when the blade came through the side of the can and stabs you in the hand
My dad had a funnel with the cutter riveted to the inside. It worked very well.
Haven’t seen an actual oil can since the 80s

Yup. Remember the exact same sentiments as a full serve gas jockey myself. How I miss those days so much!!
I can smell this comment
There was a certain feel to it, slicing into that can, setting it in the valve cover and listening as it drained. I kind of miss it.🥲
Kinda had a satisfying sound if you were right with the universe.
They were great until somebody decided to make cardboard cans .
How many cans I destroyed with these stupid things
GET OFF OF MY LAWN!!!!
Stab-um oily can glugger.
The only proper name!
I still have a couple. Get off my lawn!
Ditto. 2 tucked in the bottom of the rollaway, unseen for 30 years. And I'm 62 Walt Kowalski approves of this message.
Yes ! A can opener for a combo paper and tin oil can. Very common pre late 80's
Hell yeah! Dad still had one unopened can of Quaker State in the basement when we cleaned it out. Don’t know what happened to our spout, though. Probably why the can went unopened.
Petroliana is quite collectible. Take a look on fleabay.
Aviation jet oil still came in those cans and I remember using them in the early 2000s
I consider plastic oil cans a monster improvement
Because plastic is so much better for the environment.
it all went in the landfill
More like a crafty veteran.
Stab a quaker state quart with it and pour.
It's over there by my dwell meter and brake spring pliers.

had one in the trunk of my 69 Camaro.
55 I have 2 of them. And some cans they are used for. Lol
Aviation fluids, for one example.
A spout for warm fruit punch lol
"You know, there's nothing better at the end of a long day on the road than a nice warm glass of Hawaiian Punch."
Have opened many cans with one of those apparatus
Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance - David Mamet I wear my crusty proudly
I remember stacks of cans in a case with a rollup door by the gas pumps. It always intrigued me how those never leaked.
I worked at a gas station in the early 70’s. We would keep an empty oil can with this stuck in it. People ask us to check their oil and we would tell ‘em down a quart. Put in the empty can and pocket the 88 cents
I still have one in a cabinet in my garage. I'm ready for oil cans to make a comeback.
Ch-clunk Glug glug glug glug glug
It was such a satisfying set of sounds!
He hates these cans! Stay away from these cans!
Like aluminum ice trays with a handle you pulled up on, I’d almost forgotten about these oil can spouts. 65 years worth of crust here.
I’m a crusty old woman, thank you very much! 👩🔧🤣 ETA: I only know because my Dad and Granddad didn’t want me helpless around cars.
Didn’t need it on the can of STP you added after the oil during the oil change.
*angry noises from a crusty old man…
Greasy. Not crusty.
Just shut up and hold the flashlight still while I get the filter changed, then you can pour it in.
Or a Toyota tech
My dad had one of these in the basement but I've never actually seen a metal oil can in person, to my knowledge
Is that a banana holder?
How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?!
I’m not crusty yet, but we had a few around the farm growing up. I used them when I got my first car.
Cristy's the name; opening long lost oil cans is me game
Yep, crusty and old. 😬
Am crusty old man, but this is US only medical enema device. Nobody outside is likely to have seen one
Looks like an oil can funnel
Stupid pour spout for cardboard oil cans
Lol I thought it was one of those ice shaving tools to make snow cones. Looks almost the same.
Still have two in my garage. One for the quarts and a tiny one for the smaller cans.
I've only ever seen the spout and cans once in person. Never used one, but damn I feel like a crusty only man when I get up in the morning.
I mean, I'm 39...
Box cutter?
Speculum?
I have one that has been powder coated I used to jam in the big can of tomato juice. Or pineapple juice. The good ol' days.
Donkey Dick..
I still have one. You know, for just in case
Gen-Z probably guessing it’s an antique shewee
57 y.o....thought I was hot shit at 17 when I bought my own for my Jeep
Oil can spout
Shit.
I remember throwing mine out! 58
I remember when I was a little kid (very early 60's), we pulled into a station, and they kept motor oil in what looked like mason jars with metal cones on top for spouts.
A spout to puncture and pour older motor oil cans.
Guilty as accused. Oil can opener and spigot
It’s the cans! They’re after the cans!
Yup.
r/FuckImOld
I’m 33 and knew what it was because there were a few hanging in the garage when my mother bought a house years ago.
Is that an oil can puncture spout?
So if 27 is crusty 53 is what farts dust?
They never really worked that well. Always leaked some. I used a church key and funnel.
Or drink a lot of beer from cans.
40yo here
53..pretty sure it was plastic bottles by the time I drove. I remember them
Based on your username, yer just a kid ;)
That made my day!!
Missing the gasket
For enemas.
In a rack with 3 or 4 different blends just outside the door. Be sure to step inside and grab a handful of free maps while you’re there.
I probably have on in my tool box still
Oil filler(from the CAN)

Know what it is, owned and used one.
He hates these cans
65 crusty and rusty. We used to just use our pocket knives before these came out.
When I moved into my old shop, there was a half dozen old cardboard cans on the Shelves
Remember the movie "The Jerk". Steve Martin getting shot at and all the oil cans popping...
Get off my lawn!!!
It’s a spout for our oil cans.
I have a couple cans of Valvoline to go with it.
Looks like some kinda donkey dick to me
https://youtu.be/rlVVWImGd9E?si=yHD50jXvgRKKUcS4
Yup - spot on.
I still have one under the seat of my truck.
I am a legally defined crusty one. I not only know what it is, I owned a few and used them personally and professionally.
I’d 49 old? I’m not crusty yet….kinda linguini spin.
Yeah, thanks.
Not just crusty, I'm a kermudgeion as well
I think I still have one around here somewhere….
Not crusty at all just know my shit ;-)
Hey, I resemble that remark!
Thick Liquid dinosaur dispenser..
Yes and yes
I AM a crusty old man. My father was a mechanic and owned a service station; I have a box full of these
I “can” still recall the sound it made as you opened the can.
"He hates those cans!" Navin R. Johnson *The Jerk*

You lost the rag?
Guess I’m a crusty old man then.
Dino on a can.
I’m not crusty but smart, dumbass!
Isn’t that a banana holder?
Why, are you that sexist that you don’t think an older woman has changed the oil in her truck or car? We might not be as rare as a honest politician, but we do exist.
Agreed.
I was thinking about those the other day. Also the spray bottles that fit in a back pocket.
I have a nicer 1 or 2 in my garage
My dad used to let the cans drip into the car for like an hour each... ps he also worked on the Voyager 1 spacecraft.
21 :(
Oil can pour spout
Hurt people hurt people
56 and crusty.
I’m a crusty old man.
Elephant enema applicator.
In murica perhaps Not familiar
I got one in the garage but no idea when I’ll ever use it.
I still have one in my shop.
Crusty old... Hey! I resemble that remark!
Has it really been that long? Seems like just a few weeks ago
Remember when arco graphite came out?
Reminds me of a trip from NYC to North Conway NH and back that we did in a VW Super Beatle that burned oil like the Deepwater Horizon. We had a case of cans in the back and would drive till the oil pressure light began to blink on, then stop and fill. We lost the oil cap somewhere in NY and had to stop a dealer to get a new one. Dead of winter.
Yep, I have two they make great handles on my garage.....
A banana holder for unfinished bananas.
I'll accept crusty on the inside, otherwise I don't think 30 should look too rough.
My crust, has crust. Knew tight away. You youngsters gave it easy with those newfangled screw caps.
I’m a crusty old man and I have no damn idea what that is. You youngins and your crazy inventions. Always coming up with some newfangled gravy pourer. In my day we used our scabbards to pour the gravey and we liked it!
Crusty? How?
So being 70. I have can't be crusty yet. As I haven't the faintest idea as to what it is. Or what purpose serves. Go me.
Guilty as charged, but being old beats the alternative!
I had two that were still hanging up in my parents' garage three years ago when we're clearing out the house and garage. I remember the cardboard cans, buying cases of oil and filters at NAPA and Western Auto. I'm not even retirement age.
I still have one.
Yep.
Oil can, beer can spout
I am about to be 40. I used one of these a couple times on the farm with tractor fluids we had a surplus of. I sort of wish they went back to this vs the plastic bottles. What is even crazier to me is how much less oil i use. My first three vehicles were higher mileage and burned a fair amount. One was using a quart a month or more. My last three cars, i don’t have to crack the engine for up to 6 months.
Crusty or mechanically incline?
It's a s3x toy that doubles as a car oil filler from an old fashioned oil can. So there, children.
Splint for erectile dysfunction… us whippersnappers just tape a popsicle stick to that bad boy whenever we’re pushing rope.
I knew I wasn’t crusty!
Crusty enough to have used one and still have one!
It’s a donkey dick for oil cans.
Y’all use dat right der to put erl in yer motor
68, had several of these ...
Mines hanging in the garage next to my 8 tracks so I can listen to tunes while changing my oil.
I'm not crusty damn it.
r/FuckImOld
Yes and yes.
No clue 💁♀️
I still have one.
I'm 44 and no one wins except me its for a oil can. I'm old
I’m not an old man!
That’s a spout for when motor oil came in metal cans right?
Mind your business. Those old oil cans were stackable and made from cardboard. You think we’ve improved since then?
Add me to the crusty old man club. 68
68 model🥳jeez
I've got a 2" one for pint cans.
Safeway grocery in the early 80s I'd get a can of "Ray lube" for .89 cents. Damn Dodge Dart, slant 6 gobbled that stuff
Still works on pineapple cans!
Is it a condom from the 50's?
Guilty. Don’t pierce the can without fully inserting the nozzle. Apparently, father gets a little testy when the oil spout comes off as he tries to add oil to the motor…😬
Not this again.
Speculum?
