The date when the canister was produced is written under the canister. The date when the oil was filled inside canister is usually printed on either front or back side of the canister. Size of the canister should not matter at all. Forexample if the bottle is produced at January 2019, then...

Isn't there anyone who has any idea whether the situation is normal or not?
