[QUOTE="Wayne440, post: 116157, member: 15549"] According to Chevron, an unopened container of Delo 400 SDE SAE 15W-40 oil has a 5 year shelf life. Since your engine is not a sealed container, I venture a guess that the oil begins to deteriorate in some way as soon as it is opened. I cannot find a manufacturer's reference to how long "opened" motor oil lasts. Waiting 2 years probably won't hurt anything, but you will (or at least I would) wonder about it if some possibly oil related trouble developed. [/QUOTE]
