Originally posted by MikeCTM2: M04 Green GC would be about 2 years old now i guess. i'm sure this has been asked before, but, how many years can this stuff stay as good as new?

quote:The local AZ where my son used to work will be shipping oil back soon then. They don't rotate stock and still have 0W-30 Made in USA Syntec on the shelves. Looking at the bottles it's likely been there since the store opened years ago. I did score 1 quart of gold there last week tho.
Originally posted by FD777: I read on another forums that a Castrol rep said don't use Syntec past 5 years. 1. I forgot which weight, probably 5w-30 or 10w-30. 2. I'm sure that's a "safe" number. 3. I believe it was 5 years after the purchase date. Yet we can buy bottles that are months or 4 years old! I actually asked Castrol what the 0w-30 Syntec (GC) shelf life was. They haven't gotten back to meIt'll be in the FAQ if I ever get an answer...
quote:Hey pscholte - This statement applies to all oil OTHER than GC. GC is on top of all oil and will continue to be for many many years. With Castrol keeping the genuine base oil for GC in M05 - that is a good sign

Originally posted by pscholte: OH21, All is forgiven.Your mind is obviously in tune with the Golden Vibrations...I've never opened one of my 06 batches but I'll bet you the oil is not red!
