Domnol motor oil


 Dominion Stores was a chain of grocery stores in eastern and central Canada, started in 1919. At some point the company decided they should be in the motor oil business, I have no idea of the possible date of this can but maybe 1950s at a guess? I don't recall ever seeing this brand name in stores. The quantity is also odd, six quarts? 

Dominion is now gone, being absorbed by A&P in the mid eighties, and rebranded to Metro Stores in 2005.

  1. Back in ancient times(the 50's at least) many cars took six quarts with filter. Mopars did I know.

  2. Because it is a Canadian store those are probably Imperial quarts. That equals 7.21 US quarts making it weirder yet.
