Recently I was going to change my generator oil, and opened an old gallon of Mobil 1 0w-30 AFE (SN) that has been on the shelf for about 5-6 years.
I was hesitant to use it, because rather than the normal gold/amber sort of color, it was a deep red/brown - so much so, that my younger son (7 yrs) commented that it "looks just like maple syrup!"
I assume it's gone bad somehow while stored in my garage, despite having been unopened. Is this the case, or is the color not actually indicative of anything?
