gt14rider 1,232 #1 Posted 21 hours ago H I all, found some ATF under a bench , how long is it good for unopened. I figure it's about 25 to 30 years old. Am I just to cheap to throw it away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 4,765 #2 Posted 21 hours ago The consensus seems to be 3 to 5 years, even in the bottle. And it's "too cheap." 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 79,574 #3 Posted 21 hours ago 5 minutes ago, gt14rider said: throw it away. Toss it. Engine oil and gear oil has been proven to be non usable after 3 to 5 years. The anti foaming agents arebout if suspension by then. If ATF has similar agents.... it's trash. And... WHY chance it. No sense taking a chance in ruining equipment. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 47,317 #8 Posted 6 hours ago Could have lots of uses still. Door hinges , honing oil, patina preserver or pour it under someone you don't like's brand new car. They'll think they got a lemon! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
