GLwagonlove Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I am pretty much broke (no money), but need to do a oil change in my GL, because I put too much in last time (5 quarters). I found some old oil in storage, and I was wondering if oil is ever TOO old to put into a vehicle? It's about 2 years old, and it looks normal to me... I plan on putting 3 quarters of oil in with a quart of STP. What ya think? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman2 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 If the bottles are unopened you will be fine. I would buy another quart of cheap oil before I put STP in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 if you're broke don't bother with the STP, you're not gaining anything by using it. i also wouldn't change the oil just because it's overfilled. just drain it partially to get it where it needs to be. it's easy to do, i do it all the time to get transmission fluid levels right. just hold the oil plug up there and loosen it, once it's off keep pressure upwards and just tilt it a little to let oil slowly drain out. screw it back in and check the level. or drain it into a clean container and refill as necessary. 2 year old oil - no big deal.
