Shelf life of oil (Klotz Kl-333).

[dakota1tn]

I bought a 55 gallon drum of Klotz Kl 333 20 yrs ago and have been using it all this time. Will it go bad or break down?

 

[gmorgan]

My guess is no, as long as there is no contamination or breakdown of the container.

I will talk to Klotz on Monday to see what they say. I bought some new klotz same part # and doesent even look like the old oil did. I will post there responce.

I would think if anything heaver parts would settle out.

I would think it would have a shelf life.

I just got off the phone with Klotz. They told me that as long as the oil has not gotten contaminated it is as good as new!

 

[dakota1tn]

I agree the new is thinner and the color isent as dark. I just bought 4 gallon of it.

I had read that 2 stroke oil had a safe shelf life of about 3yrs do to additives settling out. I have some yamalube thats 2-3yrs old and have noticed a few gal. jugs had a bit of clumpy oil in the bottom.

I had a small barrel of Amzoil that I bought a few years ago, over time I noticed that it was clumping on the bottom. Before I would use your Klotz I would at least do some serious mixing.

"serious mixing" maybe take it to Home Depot and have them put it on their paint mixer machine! Maybe not the 55 gal drum though.
