Default Shelf life

Hi all,

Question: anyone know if the oil for outboard motor mix (2 stroke) has a
shelf life and if so, what. the oil is in factory sealed cans and plastic
containers and is eight to ten years old?

Thanks,

Tom



Trash it, oil shelf live is at best 2-5 years. I would not use it after
2 years, but then I throw away herbs and spices after 1 year.

The cost of the damage done by bad oil is not worth the savings from the
oil.
