Ya, and did the oil coming up out of the ground
already have a refined additives package and
viscosity indexers premixed in it?
Shelf life of a properly stored unopen container is generally accepted at (5) years (according to Mobil1).
The main issue is separation of components.
The additives can settle into a goop on the bottom.
Engines are expensive.
Fresh clean oil is cheap insurance and peace of mind.
