I cannot find anything on this can and barely anything on the company. Think the can is 1950's, maybe 60's with a SAE20 and 100% mineral base. Maybe used for special type of engine/cars? On the front it says "Bay Motor Oil". Can anyone help me with this company and the can? Any info would be appreciated! CEP Last edited by CEP; Sun Nov 01 2015 10:49 AM.
