Just wondering...I bought about a year and a half worth of Mobil1 since Pep Boys had those buy 1 get 1 coupons.

I know oil has a tendency to break down and turn acidic if you leave it in the car too long, but I didn't know if I should be concerned about that with this oil that is in the sealed containers.

What do you guys think? What about if I pick up another year and a half worth of oil (total = 3 years?)

Short answer 5 years, but probably longer.

Great. I'll pick up some more towards the end of this year when the coupons are going to expire.
