Default QUESTION: Primary oil expiration date

Hi everybody!!!

I would like to ask you if you know if the primary oil has an expiration date. I have a 1 gallon tank which has 7 or 8 years and it was opened this years ago. Can I use this oil now to change the primary oil in my Evo or it has lost its properties? The part number of this oil is 99886-84.

Thanks to all for your answers.

Most motor oil kept sealed indoors and not subjected to winter temperatures will last 60 months before the additives fall out of suspension. Oils kept in an unheated garage sealed are good for about 18-24 months. Oils once the sealed container is opened are good for about 12 months.

FWIW: I got this information from Pennzoil &amp\\; Exxon Mobil.
