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! |

@PatMc Another Pat Mc (short for McCabe, what’s yours?) here…. I see them on the flaps shelves with “canning” sometimes…
Mobil 1 says 5 years for its conventional for synthetic…. Others as you may have read state around 5 years conventional 7 for synthetic. |
