    This is a 5 gal oil can Sohilube with the old style logo. Anyone know the time period this logo was used?
    Thanks, Tom

      I would agree with the 1955 assessment. Sohio Premex was introduced in '55, and I believe the SAE 140 was Premex, and this logo is correct to that period as well.

      Interesting historical information about Sohio is available here - http://www.dantiques.com/sohio/

      and here - http://www.dantiques.com/sohio/timeline.htm
