Thought I would share some old plastic quart’s from my late father’s workshop. Going by the few dates on the back one is marked 1995 (atf), the other is 1997. These bottles were stored indoors inside a non heated, non air conditioned small building about 250 square feet large in Central Texas. They have seen many heat cycles in excess of 100 degrees, and I believe some exposure to other unknown chemicals stored closeby.
After I cleaned them and let sit for a few days, I did not see any leaks, and squeezing them they are still pliable like a normal quart bottle. Does anyone have similar anicdotal observations, or perhaps actual studies that might shed some light on how long a bottle might last? I googled and saw plenty of water bottle information, but this seems to be more durable.
I do plan on using these, I have a large john deer riding mower and it’s due for a change. I saw someone use a denso filter in another thread which got me excited. The ATF is great for power steering, and QS for a push mower and air compressor.
