Hey guys,

I was wondering if I bought a few cases of oil and placed it in my garage for over a year or two.. can it still be used?.. what's the life to oil anyways?.. Thanks in advance!

I have used that in the past. No problems with Mobil 1.

 

it sits in the ground for millions of years... lol just messing i know thats different. I think it would be fine. From what my friend says the only reason gas gos bad is the breakdown of it due to moisture. Same with Methanol. But i think motor oil would not do that?

 

thanks for the responses.. if that's the case.. then i'll just stock up on these oils.. i might just buy 4 cases.. and just leave it in the garage..

 

I had a guy tell me once (a mechanic) that oil has an indefinite shelf life as long as the containers stay sealed. YMMV

 

Hope this helps a little.

that's awesome guys.. thanks for the replies!.. 5 years is a very long time.. so it's all good!

 

You might want to shake it before pouring. Sometimes the additives will separate out and settle to the bottom of the container.
