another oil question, how old is to old?

[Guest_User]

unless I`m blind, I don`t see any date codes or tags showing born on date on these gallon bottles.
I have 3 unopened Black bottle Seadoo synthetic blend, and 1 unopened XPS synthetic.

The bottles appear to be sucked in, or is this the way they normally look when stored. From what I know, they were not stored outside, but inside a tool-1/2 garage-shed which did have it`s seasonal temp changes.

so the question is can they be used up? Thanks...

I've run 20+ year old Blizzard oil---which is what the standard ski-doo mineral oil for snowmobiles before the XPS name came along. And that was in metal cans with an old pull top like a vintage brewski used to have. I've seen new bottles sucked in like that, I'd run it!

As long as the container wasn't left open... and it's full of dirt an bugs... it's fine.

Doc, they all have the sliver foil/tab in place. Cool, I`ll tap into these, if I get a few more rides in before the weather gets to cold... I`m into my last gallon of JT4... Thanks guys...
