How long is the shelf life of engine oil after opening?
1 Answers
Engine oil has a shelf life of 6 to 9 months after opening. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Engine oil is highly sensitive to moisture in the air, ambient temperature, and light. If exposed to air for a long time and subjected to strong light, it usually becomes ineffective. 2. Using engine oil that has exceeded its shelf life can cause significant damage to the car engine, such as poor lubrication and affected cooling performance. 3. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, wear reduction, rust prevention, and corrosion prevention for the engine.
