    I just bought some liters of engine oil in cans and I suspect that they are old stock. Are these still ok? May expiration ba ang mga ito? I did not see any indication in the can of expiration date.

    sir,
    Thanks for the replies. How will you then if the engine oil you bought is expired? I can't see any indication in the can.

    Saan ka bumili? I was warned na wag bibili sa mga auto shops na hindi mo kilala because you might buy fake oils.

    yup... engine oil expires... especially mineral based....

    usually, 2-3 years shelf life...

    Another thing to consider is that habang tumatagal newer oil technologies are used for newer oils....
