I've been checking it before I start it everytime . It's always on the same spot

It's important with this car, because on AP1s there is no usable low oil light. If the oil light comes on, it's too late and you're already F'd.

where did you get that number from? an opened plastic container in a damp area would not do well i think. i could be wrong. hopefully Spitfire or one of the many knowledgeable persons here can chime in. personally i do not leave used oil on my shelves. and i keep them in a cabinet with a dehumidifier around. thats just me.

I'm pretty sure he has the cap on the jug. I'm SURE it will be fine. It ain't brake fluid, and even that can be kept for quite some time after opening as long as the can is kept sealed.

thank you, was just asking since i didnt know if it was ok. just wanted to know for my own sake. and i never have extra. i use 5 quarts and i always get top of the XXXXXXX marks.

I posted up a while back about some MTF that is at least 5 years old, still sealed, but that isn't different than being closed in oil world. I was told it would be fine almost indefinitely.

Yes cap is sealed.
The problem is walmart was out of 1qt. So I had to buy two 5qt jugs. The oil is in the garage. Maybe I'll move it to my room keep it in the closet or something

I just went ahead and called my mechanic. He also said the oil is fine to use

Be sure to open/close oil container in a sterile environment so that THALASSOLITUUS OLEIVORANS doesn't colonize.

I do oil changes in a super clean room that doubles as my silicon wafer fabrication area.
