Over two years ago I purchased 5-quarts of HD oil and filter for a Road Glide. Before I changed the oil I sold the bike. I now have a sportster and "found" the unopened oil.
Does unopened oil expire like milk? or can I use it on my new sportster?
Don't want to take any chances but don't want to waist either.
Thanks for the advice.

 

Yeah, it's bad. I'll give you my address so you can send it to me so I can dispose of it properly for you.

 

Sheep doesnt have the proper license to dispose of it, I'll give you my address, send it to me to be legal.

 

You will prolly revert back to you carbon life form well before the oil ...

Hell I dunno

I'm still workin on a stash of Amsoil 2 cycle oil I've had since 1980 , the only 2 stroker I got

now is a small snow thrower 1989 model.

Its a toss up between who'll out last the other Me the Toro or the Amsoil stash , the oil works fine.

Family genetics say I have bout 30+ yrs left so I may edge out the Toro , then theres the

Amsoil stash to think about.

 

Last dinosaurs died when? Your oil should still be good.

5K miles ago I found an unopen can of 20/50 Texaco brand dino oil in my garage that I've had since the early 80's. The can that it was in was rolled up cardboard, remember those. Had to puch a hole in the top since I didn't have a can opener handy. I only had 1 quart and poured it into the primary. So far got 5K miles on it with another 5K miles to go before I change it.

No fear here.

 

It's a little known fact that oil matures like wine...some of the best vintages are much sought after especially those from the premier oilgroves of Italy...I'd keep it...may have some value at auction sometime..

 

my dad still has unopened cans from the 70's

 

, you MAY want to put it IN the Sportster. Really makes a friggin' mess, sittin' in that chit on the seat. BUT, JMFUO, as "ooze-ual"

BUT, it's your scoot and your clothes. To each they own.

Hey Gumby is that your new moma? Didn't take you long!

 

Years ago Auto Zone ran a sale on coastal synthetic motor oil for $0.99 a quart, believe me, I bought the store out, granted I will never use it IN the bike, but every year when I change the oil IN the mowers guess what they get, I have found that it also does well on bicycle chains, squeaky chit, and many more uses.
