I recently found a case of mobil 1 synthetic oil in my garage and its about 8 years old. Should I consider using it or just dumping it?
8 year old mobil one, use or not use?

What's the API spec on it and what does your vehicle require?
From what i can tell from the blurry label it meets api sj and was thinking about using it on my 99 civic
It will be fine in your civic.

If you don`t want it I`ll take it!!!!!!! :^)
or you could send it to me lol...it probably has a whole lot more zddp than the current formulation 
I wouldn't hesitate to use it, especially in the 99 Civic.
I used API SE Mobil 1 10w30 in my mower this year. Shook it up, no problems. I would use 8 year old oil in a 1999 model year car, just shake it up!
you should return it to Wal Mart

Mobil says the shelf life is 5 years. So don't run it past 5000 OCI and look inside the first quart to see if aditives have fallen out of suspension. Shake it really well.
sweet sj..... I wouldn't use it....I'll pm you my address and you can ship it to me I'll use it......

Seriously, that's like a crackhead loosing track of a big ole crack rock. Highly unusual but a good find
I would use it. Doesn't everyone here go on about how good mobil 1 used to be?

I believe it.
I misplaced a case of 20W-50 in a move.
Found it 15 years later when cleaning out the basement.
