2 stroke oil shelf life

nugent · 27 May 2013, 21:11

As title , is there a storage limitation on this ?

Quicksilver tcw-3. I have 4 remote oil tanks full of this, in my garage. one the date unknown other 3 approx 2 years old,
Should I bin it or is it fine to use still, I would filter it prior to use ! And it's going to be used on premix not a pump, presume the properties will still be as is ,

Be a bloody shame to bin 30 / 40 ltrs genuine oil,

I have no actual knowledge of this apart from my own experience !

However, my dad bought 6 cases of genuine Yamaha 2 stroke oil by accident back in the eighties. He is still using it now, and he hasnt killed any of his engines yet

The stuff will be ok
There are different properties / additives between pre mix and 'injection' oil
Presumably, if you are going to pre mix, the engine you are going to use it with will be low spec/tech?
If so, I would use it
