BP Visco Super V Motor Oil
These are the photos of an empty BP Visco Super V oil can. The design of the BP logo suggests that it was manufactured in the 1960s by BP MALAYSIA SDN BHD which was located at Wisma Damansara, Jalan Semantan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It could contain 4 liter of fuel, graded SAE 20w-50, which is suitable for engine long life protection and could meet all motor manufacturers' requirements.
(The Society of Automotive Engineers, or SAE, developed a grading system to designate the viscosity level of single grade and multigrade motor oils. In single grade oils, the lower the number, the better it flows at cold temperatures. Likewise, the higher the number, the thicker the oil In regard to multigrade oils, the first number in the code, such as 10W in SAE 10W-30, means that the oil can still be pumped by the engine at a temperature as low as a single grade 10W oil. A 5W, like in SAE 5W-30, can be pumped at an even lower temperature, and a 0W, like in SAE 0W-30, will pump at the lowest tested temperatures. The W in the designation is commonly thought to represent weight, but in fact stands for Winter. The second number, 30, indicates how well the oil will flow when heated to 100C/212F or higher.)
BP, also known as British Petroleum was the first company to find oil in the Middle East (Persia, now Iran) in 1909.
