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.
Important
On the Iowa lake where I do my boating, everyone I know has fifty year
old trailer tires. Five miles a year is typical. Same people and boats
for fifty years.

Apples and oranges.. most folks use their tires...

If you are only driving VERY short distances at slow speeds, the tires
never heat up so the most that will happen is the tires will go flat.
If you trailer the boat on a highway, you would be wise to get new tires.
