Does engine oil have a shelf life?
I was changing my aunt’s oil for her when I came across a bottle of oil in her shed. She couldn’t remember exactly when she had purchased it, but she thought it was about two years ago. I didn’t wind up using it because I wasn’t sure it was still good. Does engine oil have a shelf life?
