Maybe for brake fluid. But I seriously seriously *seriously doubt* there’s any real, tangible “shelf-life” for many different types of lubricants.
I still use oils that I have purchased 20 years ago.
I bought 8 tires (for two different vehicles) within a couple of days after the first big explosions in Iran.
Tires need oil… There’s no way around it.
In my mind, I knew this was not going to end well.
I still do NOT think it’s going to end well.
Maybe by the time all of the tires on my...
All oil, or just “motor oil”?
Sitting at around 80 gallons of AW46
(and other related) hydraulic & transmission fluids.
Somewhere around 10 or 15 gallons
of “gear lube” (not sure)
Not sure on engine oil.
I think I’ve got around 100 gallons so.
I maintain close to 40 different engines & a...
Same.
I suspect it was an entire bad batch/lot
- and that is why it is all on clearance.
I’ve never experienced this specific type
of problem before.
I’ll *gladly* clean up a little “weep oil” to gain
the value/advantages of this situation.
The ones I ordered all arrived just fine.
I’m using it as an oil additive in my 6.0 Powerstroke with “high-pressure-oil” HEUI injectors. It has made a significant (noticeable) difference.
This engine holds 4 gallons of oil (16 quarts)
That would be pretty much a waste.
Besides, all of my chainsaws get the finest “drained crankcase oil” 😁😁
I wish I could talk to one of the oil chemistry experts at “Arch Oil” or “Hot Shot’s Secret” to see how this oil additive package compares to their additives for HEUI diesel engines (Like...
If you familiarize yourself yourself with the chemistry make up of this oil, you probably wouldn’t want to run more than 1 quart of it at a time - per crankcase fill.
People need to think of it as a “high zinc oil additive” - not as “engine oil”.
If you didn’t know anything about AutoZone’s return policy,
I WILL TELL YOU THAT they just took all 12 quarts back to the waste oil tank,
unscrewed the caps,
and then dumped them in. 😣😔😣😔
I ordered 12 quarts the first time, 11 arrived without any problem - one was leaking…
I unscrewed the cap: it was a factory bottling defect (they twisted the white seal).
Now that I know they’ll actually arrive,
I tried to order 12 more……
But they only let me order 6 😔😔
I added 6 to my cart...
