Castrol oil bottles 'spout'.

Exhibit A.

The most f

king moronic f
king thing I have had the displeasure of interacting with so far this year.
Opening a bottle of oil should be as easy as unscrewing the damn thing and breaking a seal.
This f
king thing is so f
king stupid, it is almost beyond belief. It says opening instructions on reverse of label, but they weren't. I had a feeling it was likely to be a bit dodgy in the finger slicing department, but managed to prise it open. Then I noticed it has an outer 'moat' around the spout which collects a measure of oil which will leak out when the lid is snapped back on, so you can only store it upright. Then I needed to open it again, and struggled, and then sliced my fingers.
The most f
king useless f
king stupid oil filler bottle cap/spout ever!
I wish I'd bought the Mobil 1 instead, the extra £16 would have been worth every penny just to avoid the hassle and pain that this f
king pile of f
king w
k has inflicted on me today.

It looks typical of things designed by people who will never use them, like the windscreen washer bottle filler on my Vivaro van, it is tucked under the inner wing & almost impossible to top up without using a funnel attatched to a length of hose. The twunts that come up with this sort of s
t should be made to use it or be shot. Rant rant rant etc etc

Mobil 1 is slightly more expensive, but if you NEED five litres - as most of us do - then it tends to be cheaper than getting the frankly daft 4L Castrol and then another 1L bottle on top.
They have realised the ridiculousness of the design, though - as above, they're only sending out the screw top types now.
It still doesn't have the very good extending spout neck that both Mobil and Halfords oils have had for years, though..
