How Long is the Shelf Life of Compton Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Compton engine oil has a shelf life of only two years. Once the seal is opened, long-term stored oil will gradually acidify and deteriorate, making it unsuitable for lubrication and heat dissipation. The shelf life of engine oil is introduced as follows: Unopened engine oil: The shelf life is generally about 3-5 years, and there are also oils with a shelf life of over 10 years, though they are probably not needed; Engine oil poured into the engine: The effective periods for mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil vary by brand and grade. Please follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Generally, mineral oil lasts for 5000 kilometers or six months; semi-synthetic oil for 7500 kilometers or eight months; full synthetic oil for 10000 kilometers or one year; Remaining engine oil after maintenance: If stored properly, the remaining oil after maintenance can be kept for about one year. However, for safety, it is recommended to use it within about six months.
