Could be the oil is older then when they started marking the date. Don?t think the dating started until five or six years ago.
If I end up with some out dated stuff just use it in air cooled Motorcycle!

Bought mine last week from a high volume shop and it was still stacked in the corner fresh off the truck. Hadn?t even made it to the shelf yet.

I have a couple of quarts of Phillips xc I bought in 1992. Should I worry about using it before it gets old. Back then nobody ever thought about it getting old. Maybe it is a recent thing.

I did find the re-testing document on the Aeroshell site. I only have the one case that is " out of date". I will call aeroshell to see what they say, but I plan on using the oil. May mix it with some new. The bottom line is the Oil I have has been stored well and I doubt there is a issue.
Thanks for all the Input , but at least I made some aware of this shelf life issue.

I asked Aeroshell at AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 and was told not to use the oil in an airplane after the expiration date.

The interesting thing is there is no "expiration date on the quart bottles. there is a manufacture date. Sure would like to know what the reason is?

Was your contact someone from the formulation side, or a random pick from the booth staff?

It was NOT a random pick. I went to the so called Shell Answer Man they had with them.
