Always use jars made especially for canning rather than old mayonnaise or pickle jars I don't understand why that is in the article. We use old mayonnaise jars all the time. So far, no problem with anything going bad. We don't reuse the old lids though, only new ones. We also use old salsa jars for jelly and jams.

Old mayo jars work well. The sad thing is I can’t find them anymore at the store they are plastic now.

I don't understand why that is in the article.Am in absolute agreement with you. The lids/seals are the issue, not the jars themselves.
I use old peanut butter and oyster jars, but use new lids and never have a problem.
