The thread on most motor oil bottlenecks is about 3/4"(or 19mm) in diameter, but it doesn't match either 3/4" pipe or 3/4" garden hose. Does anyone know just what thread it is?
Maybe something like 3/4" or 19mm "soda pop"?
What thread is used on most motor oil bottles?

I can't believe I just tried this... a 2 liter coke cap threads right on there (tried on Havoline quart and and old Valvoline quart)....
Now to finish that soda

I believe a 3/4" pipe thread is a 3/4" garden hose thread.

Not.
NPT is tapered.
A bit of digging suggests Garden Hose Thread has its own designation. Who knew?
Three less common threads exist, the Garden Hose Thread (GHT), Fire Hose Coupling (NST) and British Standard Taper Pipe Thread (BSPT).

Thanks for all replies. Yup, I already knew that a Coke cap would fit an oil bottle, that 3/4 pipe & 3/4 garden hose wouldn't, and that 3/4 pipe & 3/4 garden hose were different. But- I repeat, does anyone know just what that soda pop/oil bottle thread is?

It might have it's own designation, but it will screw right on to a 3/4" nipple. I know the pipe thread is tapered but it works......this might start a discussion similar to the smouldering Amsoil A1/B1 & A3/B3 debate. "Is it Is or Is it Ain't" the same ??

Of course this won't help with the new M1 quart bottles which have semi wide mouth caps.
I believe Stuart is asking for the exact thread pitch. Of course this would be straight threads and not pipe threads.
Stuart, you got me on a mission. I'm going to find the bottle mfg and get the thread pitch; then I will configure a bottle connection device.

Stuart.....Why would you care what thread it is ??

"Inquahrin' minds want to know."
it's either a 24mm or 28mm bottle cap thread.
www.plasticbottle.com might be able to help.
what about some hose that fits snug on the bottles

I already answered that question didn't I ?
We're trying to find a way to screw the bottles together without having oil fly all over the place.

redneck way would be to hot glue two oil bottle caps together then drill a hole in the middle. Your glue job would have to be perfect to prevent any leaks.
Note how the threads of the caps are triangluated. They just jam them on at the bottling plant.
Uh, oh, it seems like an opportunity to bring out my pic of...

No one uses 20w-50 bottles for lamps, only 5w-30. How pedestrian!
do you use 5w30 lamps in your winter home?
