Probably stands for "heavy medium" referring to oil weight. Very nice bottle!

Hello mate,

Apologies for this silly question as I have never seen one of these before.
Dose the top of these screw off?

The thing about these Filpruf bottles that makes them "fill proof" is that the tops do not come off easily and can be refilled only by a special patented Mobil lubester fitting. This makes the customer feel assured that only Mobil oil is in the bottle, rather than the refilling with whatever the vendor wanted.
