gogmorgo Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Oil's shelf life is pretty good. I don't know if it's 30 years good, though. I expect that eventually some of the additives will slowly break down some of the base oils. At the same time, it wouldn't surprise me at all if there were some poorly maintained cars from the 80's kicking around with original gear oil in them still.

500 MJ Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 You could probably sell that unopened can to a collector and buy 2 gal of new stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airspeed Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 My sample is 52 years old and in pristine condition (collector quality). I think I will post it on Ebay for $60 and see what’s offered. I had that 64 Buick special with the positraction rear end, I must of bought it back then.
