Hi Bros...

12 June 2021...?

Expiry...?
Manufacturing...?
Oil no expiry date...?

Me velly reli see

Any Bro in car fluids S&S?
Can pls kindly clear the confusion?
TQVM.... 

Me worried cos dunno age of ATF-J stock...if 2012, then ok lo...
cos at least 5 yrs shelf life, rite? Eg for EOs?
But if earlier, then safer 2use asap or else RM180 wld juz fly away...
That's why think change @halfway mark...

What is the shelf life of automatic transmission fluid?
The Valvoline Company does not have a documented shelf life exposure on finished motor oil or automatic transmission fluid. We would expect under optimal conditions that the product would be stable for an extended period of time. We recommend two things: 1) Make sure the rating meets or exceeds your requirements, and 2) Shake the container before use. If the fluid sets, sometimes the additives may settle in the bottom of the container.

Technically, engine oils have shelf lives of four to five years. However, as years pass, unused engine oils can become obsolete and fail to meet the technical requirements of current engines. The specs get updated regularly based on new scientific testing procedures and engine requirements. But this is only really a concern if you've bought a brand new car but have engine oil you bought for the previous car. An oil that is a number of years old might not be formulated to meet the requirements set for your newer engine.

If your unopened containers of engine oil are more than three years old, read the labels to make sure they meet the latest industry standards. If they do meet the current standards, you might want to take the extra precaution of obtaining oil analysis before using them. An oil analysis will check for key properties of the oil and ensure that it still meets the original manufacturing specs. Of course the cost of getting an analysis done on old oil is probably going to outweigh going and buying fresh stuff. So it's a double-edged sword.
As a general rule, the simpler the oil formulation, the longer the shelf life. The following is a guideline under protected conditions - indoors at about 20°C:
Product Shelf Life
Base Oils, Process Oils - 3 years
Hydraulic Oils, Compressor Oils, General Purpose Lubricating Oils - 2 years
Engine Oils and Transmission Oils - 3 years
Industrial and Automotive Gear Oils - 2 years
Metal Working and Cutting Oils - 1 year

The following are signs of storage instability in a lubricant:

* Settling out of the additives as a gel or sticky liquid
* Floc or haze
* Precipitates/solid material
* Colour change or haziness

Water contamination in a lubricant can be detected by a "milky" appearance of the product.

hope this answers your worries:
