What to Do with Leftover Engine Oil After Maintenance?
1 Answers
Here is the relevant information about leftover engine oil after maintenance: 1. Shelf Life: Leftover engine oil after maintenance can be stored for about 1 year if properly preserved, but for safety, it is recommended to use it within 6 months. 2. Storage Tips: (1) After maintenance at a repair shop, the leftover oil should be capped as soon as possible. (2) At home, find a plastic bag, fold it several times (e.g., fold it twice to create 4 layers), cover the opening of the oil container, and then tighten the cap. (3) Store the oil in a cool, dry corner of your home. When using, handle gently and pour slowly, as after long-term storage of opened oil, there may be impurities at the bottom of the container, so you can use only the oil from the top.
