New but Old Oil....is it good yet?

[66340SEDAN]

Cleaning up some stuff and I found that I have 6 brand new quarts of 20w50 Valvoline racing oil, several quarts of Mopar brand manual transaxle and diff oil....all probably around 15+ years old....is this ok to use for anything or should I just recycle it? Thanks

Still good!
Use it!

Use it. Probably more zinc in it than the stuff on the shelves now.

It's bad Keith, you should give it to me for proper disposal.

Look at the API ratings and dates for zinc content. Good yet for mid 90s and newer stuff probably.

Shake thoroughly before using it.

I think project farm on YouTube tested some old oil (was in one of those old school cans) and it was still perfectly usable.

Old oil doesn't expire. It only wears out with use. It's not food that will spoil.

Run It Baby!!!!!!!

Sell it on ebag. It’s way better than the currently available products!

As long as it is still sealed, I say run it...
