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

I have read 2-5 years or so, because of the additives...

I heard the same thing, hence, I would not use oil older than 2 years.

They say you should not use Tires that are older than 6 years, no matter
how much tread you have on them.
