Can anyone tell me if oil has a shelf life i have a 1 ltr unopened bottle of 0w- 40 Castrol SLX which i had for my Mk2 Rs would this oil be ok for top ups or is it for chucking away!.

Unopened in factory sealed container stored indoors = 60 months
Unopened in factory sealed container stored subjected to freezing = 24 months
Once opened and air introduced = 12 months.

 

give it a mix and leave to settle for 10 mins before use aswell

Hi Kenny….did you manage to sort a deal with Opie?  Bought 1L of the recommended Castrol from local Halfords……not cheap!

[mart]

Hi

caRSrus

i got this off eBay best price to be fair.

Tesco and Asda are back at £12 just now for 1 ltr Castrol edge     0w-40 better deal than Halfords i would think.

[CaRSrus]

Thanks Mart and Bravo-Kilo….I’ll check that out. Halfords…….£19 for 1L!

[mart]

Yeah it is

but in bulk. Works out £7.65 litre.

I’ve just brought castroll edge professional and I’ve just realised it’s 0/ 30 can I still use it in mk3 rs

[focrself]

The fuck, is the european model different feom the US varient?  My 2017 manual clearly states the car runs 5w50 motorcraft full synthetic.  This is some bullshit, right after i pay 50 bucks for 6 quarts and a filter I read online this nonsense about 0w40?  SOMEONE here is wrong, and considering im staring right at my mk3.5 rs supliment manual right now, I call bullshit on the 0w40.

[rsdom]

Could it be due to the fact you are across the pond and depending on which part of the states you are in ambient temperatures dictate oil viscosity?
