ATF stored in garage for ~2 years. Still good?

[fixchips]

Hello,
I have 4 new quarts of Amsoil ATF (red cap) in my garage that has been there for about 18 months.
I want to buy 5 more ATF quarts for a transmission flush.


Are there any issues for using an oil that has been sitting for this long?
Is there any issues with mixing with older ATF?

IMO - yeah, it would still be good if you had it in a trans for that long

No sweat. Start flushin'.

 

[tomcat27]

its all good - for many years. think of it this way: transmission fluid sits in your transmission for years - with no problem.

I hope so...have 12 quarts of Supertech Dex VI ATF that has been in my garage for about 9 months now.


Betting it just needs a good shake....

If it was sitting on the concrete floor, then no I would not use.

My dad's 68 valiant went to the scrapper in 2013 with its original fluid. The amsoil will be fine

Condensation.

thru a plastic bottle??

In a sealed jug it will be fine, shake it and use it.

Since the moisture that is inside the bottle will stay inside the bottle and the moisture outside the bottle can't get inside the bottle, I can't see what there is to worry about.
