Well---I call it a funnel can--others may have another name.

Could be "pour can"

Oil Jug or Oil Pourer. Depends what you want to roll with, or what Dave said


Veedol or Castrol stuff

Possibly not a fantasy item, but a can that someone has added a Texaco Decal to. These type of measures/funnels were sold without decals before they were used to measure anything. . These decals would be scratched off during the first ten uses.

Thanks Jack, just wanted to know the item's name as I wasn't asking for "judging points". Roger

I always called it a measure. Proceeded by the size, quart or gallon. Used them for bulk oil since my first job as a mechanic in 1978.
