Is there a shelf life for lubricant storage? Lubricating oil is different from general foods and medicines, and there is no strict storage shelf life. Because the performance of lubricating oil is relatively stable, it will not affect the use as long as it is stored properly. Therefore, the state does not stipulate the shelf life or validity period of lubricants. In the sealed state at room temperature and dry and normal storage conditions that are dust-proof, waterproof, and chemical-proof, the oil products have been stored for more than three years, and the various indicators have not changed.
Nevertheless, users should pay special attention to the storage conditions of lubricants:
1. The ideal storage space for canned and barreled lubricating oil is indoors. Lubricants in small barrels and any packages that have been opened must be stored indoors to avoid the impact of climate change.
2. Too low or too high temperature may affect the quality of lubricating oil, so it is not suitable to store lubricating oil in overheated or cold place for a long time.
3. When the lubricating oil is not stored well and dust and water enter the oil, turbidity and precipitation may appear. Stop using it immediately.
