Watch what, and how much, you buy....
That was me who asked Mobil about the shelf life. Yes, they did tell me that the shelf life was one year - two years tops. But I'll tell you something:
I am still using from a case of the old Mobil MX2T in pints. I am guessing that it is about 4-5 years old. None of my 2 stroke engines are suffering any ill effects, smoke and odors from them are virtually non existant - even at start up. And when I come back in the house, my clothes don't smell like I spent an hour in a smoke house. For the record, I have two Lawn Boy 6 1/2HP Duraforce mowers (the most powerful 2 cycle mowers ever made), and a 5HP Suzuki powered Toro single stage snowblower.
So regarding shelf life - worry about more important things in life, like paying for car payments and mortgages.
