do engine oils have expiry date
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Yes, engine oils do have an expiry date, typically ranging from 2 to 5 years from the date of manufacture. Despite being a stable, non-biodegradable product, engine oil can degrade over time due to exposure to heat, humidity, and air, which can lead to changes in viscosity or the loss of integral additives. It's important to store engine oil in a cool, dry place to maximize its shelf life. While using slightly outdated oil may not immediately harm your engine, it's advisable to adhere to the expiry date to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity. Manufacturers determine these dates through rigorous testing, ensuring the oil maintains its properties and efficacy within the specified period. Always check the packaging for the manufacture and expiry dates before use.
