Hey guys!
I'm just wondering what the shelf life is on opened and unopened oil is these days? Probably stored in a garage that sees big temp swings. Would a steady controlled room temp make any difference? Thank you!
I have used 7 year old oil no issues (as in engine is still running), and may have used older in the past.
I am one that so long as it meets spec and is in a sealed container stored in reasonable conditions, I will use it.

good summary!
How about opened oil or what was the consensus about oil in the sump? ... e.g. if a car is driven let's say 700 miles a year. is it good for 5 years? this would cover all questions for your sticky.
