Auction ended...  no bids even starting at .01 cent.   Maybe he'll 
relist the can of oil and drop  that ten  buck shipping cost a 
bit...?    That is, if anybody is actually interested in buying a 20+ 
year old can of oil.

A guy I know has a can of motor oil, can't remember the brand, that 
dates back to WW-II.   Metal can, rather heavy, been sitting on the 
basement shelf of his dad's house since before he was born.    Not 
sure what that particular can of oil might be good for either...   ;)

Knowing this guy, it likely ended up in his lawnmower.
