Oil container??

I found this clearly genuine BMW container in the boot of an old 2002. It contains a blue coloured oil (ATF?). I'm just curious about it's origin and contents and if it's any use to anyone. It's approx 200mm x 150mm x 80mm.20260726_100748.jpg20260726_100748.jpg

    To be fair, I have no idea what it contains (possibly if it is blue it could be antifreeze) - saying that, Duckhams engine oil used to be green so anything is possible as it was back in the 70's I would also imagine it to be quite toxic.
    Disposal of the fluid at the local tip would be the best bet and then wash out the container and would be useful for a number of things

    Let us know (out of pure curiosity) as to what you find out and end up doing with it

    Definitely not anti freeze, has the viscosity of a light oil. I'll do as you suggest and sod the curiosity!😁
