| Does unused engine oil degrade with time? Hello everyone, Just wondering if it was ok to use the engine oil I bought a year ago. I have one that was half used and another un-opended. Has my engine oil degraded over the months it's been sitting in the can? Thanks for any advice

| Re: Does un-unsed engine oil degade with time? Someone will be along to advise you 'properly' - but from what I gather - yes it does degrade but 1yr should be OK.

| Re: Does un-unsed engine oil degade with time? I dont think it does. I had Magnatec in my garage for a year, mixed some other oil with it and shoved it in my sisters Micra when it came to service time. But I don't think it degrades.
