The Psychology of Oil Bottle Color in Purchases

At first I thought Pennzoil was nuts for having all their oils in a yellow jug. However; when I walk into my Walmart and see a 5 foot yellow row, I'm attracted to it long before I can read the label. Maybe these PR guys know me more than I realize. Ed
And here I thought only marketing folks cared...
I like oil in my National colours - so Penrite does black containers for us Kiwis.

Definitely some money spent on a nice bottle and graphic design. Most oils are going to rely on the marketing as much as the approvals they carry.
Even though I never use penrite despite being Aussie, they do have a good bottle aesthetics. Their grades makes zero sense though. Hpr5, ten tenths racing, enviro (low saps). Tricking people with rubbish labeling "extra ten" puts me off too.

I don't really care about bottle colors, but I do love buying ATF because it usually only comes in single quart bottles. Idk why, but I looooove the single quart bottles
I want metal cans ...
I don't know how we can discuss oil cans, without bringing up these
https://xado.us/oils/automotive/synthetic/xado-atomicoil-5w30-504-507
I am really thinking about buying a can, just for the can. I don't trust the company, but I can always run it in my lawn mower.

because they are easier to pour, and when you have a little bit left, it stays in the smaller bottle rather than a big jug

Draining off my used oil into 5 or 6 little quart bottles REALLY sucks. I hate quarts!
BTW, my firewall didn't like the xado.us site referenced a few posts above.
