Default Age of oil
Just a quick question, I bought some top up oil from my local honda dealer the other day (Castrol SLX 0w30 as used when it was last serviced by them) and the fill date on the bottle is 26/11/07. Does it matter in anyway that this oil (never opened) is over a year old?

When I stocked up my oil recently, i have been advised to use them within 2 years...

your's seem fairly recent, so nothing to worry...
