Oil does indeed have a shelf life, i believe its around 4-5 years as per Mobil or Castrol i think which state this.

Throw it in the bin.

2nd result from google also has quite a bit of info on it.

Why would you store oil for 13 years?

You never know when someone might stumble into your campsite in the jungle...

Old native saying...

human crackling tastes "yum"'

personally i would pour the oil on the fence as it stops the wood from drying out and kills the weeds

+1. when i lived out on the farm, everytime i used to change the oil i'd tip the old oil on a different fence post around the yard. works well at stopping them rotting, etc.

So the whole breaking down thing... That because oil is organic right?¿

So what about full synthetic oils... Are they still organic based & would they break down?

surely not....oil is from plants that broke down millions of years ago!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
