Shelf life of TWS Motorsport 1060
I just picked up a bottle of the M3 engine oil from my dealer today.
At the neck of the bottle, there's a date stamp, mine says 01.11.10, which i think is a date. Is that a manufacturing date or an expiration date? What's the shelf life of the oil? |

^ yeah thanks, I bought it b/c my engine is burning oil about 6 months after the oil change. It's getting popped open soon at least before my long-distance road trip this month.

no expiration date.... since i do my own oil change every 7500 it doesnt really matter...
oh as long its not open... if it is i usually keep it for 3 months and trash it if not used.

as long as its stored indoors and not left outside where it freezes, thaws, and heats up over and over again, i think you'll be fine.
i have oil from 2005 that i just put into the car in my last oil change. it looked exactly like the newer oil. there was no discoloration or separation of the oil, color was the same, viscosity was the same. i used 4 bottles of oil oil and 5 bottles of new oil altogether.
