Motor Oil Also Has A Shelf Life
Just because you see a bargain on motor oil at the auto supply store doesn’t mean you should stock up on the stuff! Just like so many other products, motor oil also has a shelf life. Where you store it can make a difference; experts recommend keeping it in a cool and dry place.
Check the consistency of any motor oil before using it in your car — even before the expiration date. YourMechanic.com reports that “[i]f it is thick and sticky, and has solid or gel-like particles, do not use it. If you see that the additives seem to have separated from the oil, it is not safe to use.”
