TerryB Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Found this tin can at an antique shop last weekend. Given the low price I paid for it I'm sure the seller did not know it was auto related. It's still full! I have heard of Bijur automobile lube systems but never have seen a can like this in any of my travels. Who knows, maybe the contents are still good!Terry Edited March 2, 2016 by TerryB (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Looks like it is used for industrial and automotive applications. My Bridgeport has the system installed on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 The can says for chassis lubrication so I think it's for the Bijur lube systems installed on luxury autos. Bijur is still making lube systems for industrial applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8E45E Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 That can is a replaceable grease cartridge which fitted under the hood of certain vehicles that had the Bijur automatic lubrication system where one held in a button on the dash momentarily every few thousand miles and it automatically greased the linkages on the steering and front suspension components. I believe Lincoln used it, as well as Franklin. Others can chime which automakers all used the Bijur lubrication system. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I have a 31 Auburn that has a Bijur oiling system. I would be interested in buying your can if you would be interested in selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 My Bridport Milling Machine also has one. It is a 1969 model. Your can is definitely older that that. Cool find. Dandy Dave! Looks like it is used for industrial and automotive applications. My Bridgeport has the system installed on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
