I have read here about additives settling. Do you shake your containers before pouring them into your vehicle to mix up the lubricant?

I don't when doing oil changes, but did before sending in a VOA sample.

If the oil container sits too long and additives settle they may not all pour out of the container leaving some still in the bottle/jug.

I actually keep my oil stored on a rocker. It keeps the oils moving at all times to eliminate any chance of separation.

Okay, I don't actually do that. But I do shake my bottles before use. Come to think of it, I shake any most bottles before use... medicine, salad dressing, oil.
