is 7 year old unused unopened oil any good?

Kilroybass@Usa.Com 13 February 2005 19:53:02
 I was cleaning the garage when I found some 10W-30 oil, unopened, still
sealed in its container. It was bought 7 years ago and hasn't been
used at all, just forgotten.

Can this oil be used in my next oil change or should I just recycle it
at the local recycling facility?

Yes. After laying in the ground millions of years, 7 years more ain't going
to
be even noticed.

For gasoline engines, the owner's manual will probably recommend an API
quality grade (www.api.org) like SG, SH, SJ, or SL (best), and if your
can of oil is at least that good, then you can use it without problems,
provided it's also of the right viscosity range and you shake it up.

Most refiners specify 3-5 years shelf life for plain dino oils depending on
the storage conditions.

It should be as good as new. But "new" it wasn't as good as most of
today's oils. I'd probably use it as make-up oil between changes,
personally.

Tell me you are kidding about your comment, "with little exposure to oxygen
gas or water". Seriously, removing water is a huge part of the oil refining
process, and water and air are routinely used as aids in the extraction of
hydrocarbons.
