  1. Where can I get the plastic screw-on tops of gear oil bottles
    without buying the gear oil?

    They fit regular automotive oil quarts, and are incredibly handy
    for getting oil into little oil holes.

    I don't know if they're sold alone though.

    You get the hole size you cut them for.

    Squeeze dispensers for mustard and ketchup are sold cheap, and they
    provide the same opportunity. I buy the clear ones to use as dye
    applicators for tie-dye projects.

    The gear oil I've been buying has bigger threads than the motor oil
    bottles I have.

    They aren't, unless you want to buy *lots* of them. There's also the
    issue that there is no standard for such threads. While two sizes are
    common, many are used.

    Valvoline gear oil tops fit Quaker State motor oil quarts perfectly,
    whatever else is true.

    Just a bottle top from a quart of oil? Free, in the bin
    next to the gas pump of your neighborhood filling station.
