Castrol Syntec GTX - Shelf Life / Expire / Expiration

[FD777]

So, I always wondered if Castrol Syntec (mainly GC) ever expired.

I just called Castrol USA and spoke to Carol (didn't get a last name).
Their official paraphrased answer was,

quote:

---

"Castrol oils have no expiration date. However, we recommend using the oil within 5 years of the date printed on the bottom of the bottle. This applies for both Syntec and GTX oils."

I also found this similar answer on another forum:

"Unfortunately, the shelf life of Castrol Syntec 5w-50 is 5 years, so we would not recommend using the product."


Thank you for contacting Castrol, The Technology Leader!
