I bought three cases of Valvoline VR-1 20w50 about 18 months ago, back when it was cheap(er). Given the number of miles I put on the teener in a given year, the remaining 2 cases will probably last me another 3 years or so. Any problem using oil that is 4 to 5 years old if the bottles are unopened?
BTW, I read a number of the various articles on the web, but thought I would get better gouge from the experts here... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Thanks in advance! |

Thanks all! Appreciate the responses. The oil is stored in my garage (in VA), so should be ok. Maybe I can sneak it into a climate-controlled closet upstairs in the house
