Does anyone know how to read the date code from an Amalie / AOC bottle?
I purchased 12 quarts of their Elixer full synthetic from Amazon, and I received what appears to be old stock with an API SN rating. Amalie's website shows the oil to be API SP, and I assume they've produced API SN+ at some point, so I'm guessing these bottles I got are a few years old.
Admittedly, Amazon's photos show an SN API cert, but I assumed they were old photos, as is usually the case when I buy oil online. Since it's sold and shipped by Amazon, I figured they'd rotate through stock relatively quickly and have stock that is semi-recent.
Oh well, win some, lose some. Any potential issues running this older stuff in a GDI engine (2015 Kia Sedona, 3.3L)?
I've circled the only text I could find that appears to be a date code of some sort:
