Oil question?

Charlie, please tell me it's not Billy Beer...

Great minds think alike. Just noticed you posted that too

Sounds like it should be a garbage item. Of course, you could always put it on E-Bay as a rare item and hope some damn fool gives you 10 times what it is worth. BTW - I found a 30 year old 12-pack of beer in the back of my garage. What's it worth ??

Bring it to Louisville, someone might be thirsty, one late night, in the lobby

Reminds me, I've got some beer from the 1982 World's Fair.

Rex and I had this conversation a few years back about the shelf life of beer. Seems to me he said if it lasts more than a few weeks I'm doing it wrong.

K&N oil filters are nothing special. When they were made in the USA by Champion Laboratories they were OK, but they are now made in Korea and Mexico and the specs have gotten worse. Motorcraft, WIX, NAPA Gold, AMSOIL, and the FRAM Ultra are all superior to the K&N.

I wont discard what you researched, but I have bought them before , they look and feel like a quality product.
care to show some evidence to support that claim?

If you have a Sam's club or rural king check their prices on Mobil 1, rural king has some decent prices on all oils

There is no off position on my genius switch.

There has been a lot of discussion on BOBISTHEOILGUY about this. Jay Buckley, quality control manager from FRAM, has provided insight into the old Champ-made version and the newer versions, specifically the reduction in quality of the filtering media.

Ha sucked you in with that title

I found an old can of unopened oil the other day that I probably bought 30 years ago. I was wondering if oil has a shelf life. I wouldn't use it in a car, but what about a lawn mower? Anybody have a thoughts?

Use it in the mower if it is a 2 stroke. If I ever have any oil questions, I ALWAYS defer to Bob(RF Overlord) as I believe he is the last word on any oil related topic on this forum

I gotcha beat Brad. Amazon has Castrol Extended performance synthetic oil 5 qt. jug for $27.99 free shipping for prime members. $5 anywhere for a FL820 = $33.

True dat, didn't think of him, but yes if he can survive drinking his "Flaming Skull of Death' concoction on a daily basis what's a little motor oil.

I refer to Baub when there is a 'snake oil' question on the table.

There was an episode of Diggers on National Geographic channel. They dug up the time capsule with Steve Jobs first computer mouse in it. One of the guys said he had put a six pack of beer in the time capsule way back when so they pulled it out also. They actually drank it. They said it tasted gross and they joked about having to go to the emergency room to get thier stomachs pumped. But they were fine. Just thought that was funny that they actually considered and did drank the old beer. They said it was still cold from being underground. lol

You mean 4 stroke right?

I wouldn't mix engine oil with gas for my 2 stroke stuff
