It never really went away, just changed labeling. I have Super S in old label and new label, changed year for use in is all that is different.
 
The last actual yellow bucket I say didnt have any specs at all or anything. I will never buy oil at tractor supply ever again out of 6 buckets 4 had water in it . Had good luck with the cam 2 brand
 
Why not buy it in barrels and forget about pails? Or am I the only one that does that? Seems so much easier and less hassle to use barrels and pump off to jugs or old pails for use away from farm. cheaper in barrels also.
 

Notice it stops at MS1207. The TSC brand I bot on sale for 30 bux each also had MS 1209, 1210, and maybe 1212. Have to look but it went higher up than yours. Don't know what the difference would be.
 
By the specs the bucket label lists, that is not same fluid as in the much debated "yellow bucket" 303 that has been discussed and banned in places. The yellow bucket claimed to be a replacement for JD 303. This one claims to meet the J20A spec, which superseded the JD14 spec, which took the place of the 303. J20A is the spec before the current J20C and was the proper spec for JD equipment until about 1989.
 
(quoted from post at 17:07:46 04/15/21) Looks different too

Could be a reason for that... It *IS* different.

This ain't your daddy's 303 line flush. It has to meet some standards, so it's not the random garbage that comes out between batches.

If you're getting it for the same price as before, that just tells you how much you were overpaying for the oil bottler's waste product previously.

Barrels are a hassle. They're heavy so you need a tractor to get them out of the truck. You can't carry them to the tractor and pour them in. You need to hunt down a clean old jug or pail that doesn't have a half gallon of mystery oil in it. Too much to say the heck with it and mix in, too much to throw away.

Besides if you buy only barrels where would you even get the old jugs and pails you need to transfer the oil to the tractors? You'd have to BUY one of those pitchers...
 
Not always , I use to BUY by the 55 gallon drum , till one day i went to get a new barrel and my one friend asked me WHY and i said well it is LESS EXPENSIVE and he well not today the five gallon buckets are less ten five gallon buckets THAT TIME came to a hundred buck LESS so why stop at ten so i took 20 .
 
I am not a fan of barrels for all those reasons might be great if
you farm next too the house . Ive also noticed the new pails
the flexible top rots and falls of after about 6 months whether
you use the pail or not
 
The original cam 2 had all these same specs on it then it
started saying 1979 or earlier and a Small list of specs the last
cam 2 bucket I bought the bucket pretty much told you not to
buy it
