I believe everyone has a car, right? Whether it is a bicycle or a car, they all need different types of motor oil. So everyone must have a bottle of motor oil at home for emergency use. How often do you change the motor oil you use? Have you ever paid attention to the question of whether the motor oil has expired? In fact, motor oil has a shelf life. Let me tell you about the issue of whether motor oil has a shelf life.

What is the shelf life of motor oil?

(1) After the engine oil is produced and packaged, a shelf life will be marked on the package. This is the shelf life of the unopened product, which is generally around 5-6 years.

(2) After opening, if the engine oil is kept in a sealed container and away from light and heat, it can still be kept for about 6 months.
