Koltz Two stroke oil.

[Panzerman]

I was a Marine store and they had two gallons of Koltz two stroke on clearance. It was marked down from $41 to $29 a gallon. It was Techniplate TCW3, but when I read the back it said for injector or premix and TC rated Jaso and had a FC rating. It was red. I never had any experience with Koltz, I heard it was Great oil. Problem is I also heard it was a biodegradable oil and this stuff, had a 2004 date on it. Now, I would think car oil would be good for 10 to 12 years, but a biodegradable two stroke oil, makes me nervous, maybe for no reason. I would be using it in stock engine Polaris's. I think I could even get it cheaper since its a mom and pop marine store and they probably just want to unload it. Anybody have any experience with Koltz techniplate oils and know if this would be a Great deal or not?

I remember the Klots name from my dirtbike days in the late 70's. or so. They have been around a long time.

Yes I used Klotz in my dirtbike days as well back in the 70's.

I'm sure the oil is fine. To start biodegrading I believe it has to be exposed to oxygen and UV light.
Why not contact Klotz directly and see what they have to say?

klotz is fantastic stuff, very high quality and they go back quite a few years. if it was sealed i wouldnt worry about it, like said above it shouldnt break down until it is exposed to oxygen and uv light, assuming it was sealed it should be fine, but you can always contact klotz themselves if you are concerned.
