The Mobile one site says five years for their products opened or unopened stored in a dry cool place. In the 70s my Dad was bulk agent for Standard Oil and they wanted all oil over five years old returned. It was not stored in a dry cool place.

Hi, - After opening a bottle of motor oil, for how long is it good? I have some that has been open about 4 years. Just doesn't make sense to by yet another bottle every Spring. Thanks.

as long as you keep it clean, it never expires...oil is billions of years old anyway

You sure have to be careful of them bugs getting into your sealed oil bottle. Them bugs sure like to drink that oil.

I remember once someone wanted to know if they made a stabilizer to keep their big bottle of Stabil good....
