Hi All,
Couple of generic oil questions...
Found on the farm several quart, gallon and larger full, unopened oil containers in plastic jugs, small 1 qt cans (think of those needing to be opened with a can opener) and drums.
1st: Does oil go bad in unopened containers - if yes, what would the shelf life be?
Could one use without issue all the older, unopened oil - plastic jugs and small round cans equally?
2nd: I noticed Shell T1 SAE 30 over the years has been labelled as Heavy Duty Diesel for diesel and gasoline engines, whereas other T1 30wt heavy duty oil indicates either diesel or gasoline and some just says heavy duty oil.
Is this all the same, as it all says Shell T1 heavy duty 30 wt, or are there actually different versions of T1 30wt heavy duty oil - some for diesel, some for gas etc, and some for both?
3rd: Also found several non-T1 heavy duty SAE 30wt oil containers, Mobil, and other brands - same question as #2 above.
4th: Considering modern T4 and T1 diesel oils are much superior to straight 30wt from the 60's, would mixing un-opened T1, T4 etc containers be a no-no?
Lastly, if older cans can be used as it doesn't degrade, is there a value to keeping the old vintage cans and buying new oil, or just use it all up?

Today's Featured Article - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
