    Mobil 16 gallon Mobilplex EP 0 Can

    Approximately 14 1/2 x 26 1/2

    I promised I would show this Mobil Can. I'm using it as a garbage can in my garage. The can had no bottom, so I cut a round piece of wood and screwed in to the bottom. Someone had installed handles at one point in it's life. It is kind of rusty and crusty, but I love the look with the red, white and blue..and iconic pegasus.

    WHY THE PEGASUS?
    "The flying red horse was first used by Vacuum Oil in South Africa in 1911. In 1931, when Vacuum merged with Socony, the red Pegasus – a symbol of speed and power – was adopted as its U.S. trademark."

    EP 0?
    "EP lubricant providing protection against vibrations and high (shock) loads, without losing its capabilities. Developed for trucks and buses, equipped with a central lubrication system, in engine reductors and gearboxes for which an NLGI-0 grease is advised."

      Beautiful can. The Pegasus is my favorite gas/oil character.
