I have a distant recollection that the self mixing stuff had a bit of petrol in it already so you mixed it at 16:1 instead of 25:1. I thing 2t oil has moved on and got much better with the 50:1 oils so would mix this in with chain oil. What say you @Stubby?

Its pretty ancient ( like me ) I would not put it in an engine . Maybe mix it with chain oil in the winter if you can't bear to waist it ...

I know of several people who would love to own them tins and more so if not opened, they are man cave decorations and very sought after these days, they have a far greater value now than when you purchased them, i had a 1 gallon agri Castrol oil can that i had Creosote in and i chucked it due to corrosion on the bottom as it leaked slightly, later so one for sale at a Auto jumble for £30,, used to use Castrol R40 or Cazzy R as it was better know as in my Fizzy loved the smell of it and still do,
