One of the greatest selling points for a car is regular oil changes. If your shop has a service bay, when a customer car comes in for an oil change, you should give them one; change their oil for this cars oil.
The client's oil is only 3000 miles old and who knows the last time this 49's oil didn't look like burnt molasses!
But if you feel kinda raw about giving the client some oil straight out of the car, you can always "filter" it; First, take two used 1 gallon wine jugs from the mechanic's pickup bed and one of
the bottles will hold the used oil and the other
one will hold the "filtered" oil.Next, get a cinder block or whatever is handy, and raise the "used" oil wine bottle "one bottle height" taller off of the floor than the "new" oil wine bottle. "Borrow" a length of rope from the car lot next door's "banner flags" - but just enough to snake from the inside bottom of one jug to the inside bottom of the other jug.
Finally, get 2 hairpins from the desk of the secretary and use one on each bottle to make sure the rope is held in the center of each jug opening. Just make sure the pins "loosely" hold the rope and not pinch it and fill the "used" oil jug with that nasty 1949 oil.
In a few days that oil will climb the rope, filter down into the clean oil jug and all the crap will be left in the rope. You could be a good neighbor at this point and go return the greasy rope to the lot next door. Only don't get caught or you might be the one who gets greased!
Ah nostalgia....
