         6 . The pour spout device of  claim 1  wherein the base cap has a cylindrical outer surface and the elongated spout tube has a frustroconical outer surface. 
     
     
         7 . The pour spout device of  claim 1  wherein the container is suitable for dispensing a liquid motor treatment. 
     
     
         8 . A device comprising:
 a container having a body portion for holding a liquid;   an opening on the upper end of said body portion having threads, and a removable cap having threads for engaging with the threads on the opening of the container;   a pour spout comprising:   a unitary construction including a base cap and an elongated spout tube;   the base cap having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the inner surface has threads for engaging with threads on the opening of the container so as to secure the pour spout in closing relationship to the opening of the container; and   the base cap including a tether lead connected to an end ring member for securing the pour spout to the container so as to captively hold the pour spout when it is not secured in closing relationship to the opening of the container;   wherein the end ring member is fitted on the opening of the container and the removable cap is fitted over the end ring member, the threads of the removable cap engaging with the threads on the opening of the container for securing the pour spout to the container so as to captively hold the pour spout when it is not secured in closing relationship to the opening of the container.   
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8  wherein the threads of the removable cap engaging with the threads on the opening of the container provide an anti-drip engagement. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8  wherein the unitary construction is molded of plastic. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 8  wherein the end ring member has an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface having a plurality of projection spurs circumferentially positioned for securing the end ring member to the opening of the container, thereby securing the pour spout to the container so as to captively hold the pour spout when it is not secured in closing relationship to the opening of the container. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 8  wherein the base cap has a cylindrical outer surface and the elongated spout tube has a frustroconical outer surface. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 8  suitable for dispensing a liquid motor treatment. 
     
     
         14 . A device comprising:
 a container having a body portion for holding a liquid;   an opening on the upper end of said body portion having threads;   a pour spout comprising:   a unitary construction including a base cap and an elongated spout tube;   the base cap having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the inner surface has threads for engaging with threads on the opening of the container so as to secure the pour spout in closing relationship to the opening of the container; and   the base cap including a tether lead connected to an end ring member for securing the pour spout to the container so as to captively hold the pour spout when it is not secured in closing relationship to the opening of the container;   wherein the pour spout is fitted on the opening of the container, the threads of the base cap engaging with the threads on the opening of the container so as to secure the pour spout in closing relationship to the opening of the container.   
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 14  wherein the threads of the base cap engaging with the threads on the opening of the container provide an anti-drip engagement.
