THE GEAR OIL IS ALSO CALLED DIFFERENTIAL OR REAR-END GREASE.MY FATHER WAS HUMBLE DISTRIBUTOR FROM 1946 UNTIL THEY CHANGED THE NAME IN AROUND 1961-1964. THIS WAS AT ONE OF HIS GAS STATIONS. THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL ALSO SAYS THE HUMBLE OIL AND REFINING COMPANY. THEY CHANGED THE NAME OF ENCO, BECAUSE IT MEANT "STALLED CAR" IN JAPANESE.
