    It was a million years old before they put it in the jug.

    Yep, No problem. You can use an old tin of oil found in a barn that has been there for 50 years if you want.

    You can NOT wear oil out, or deteriorate it, you can only CONTAMINATE it. As long as it has been sealed from dust/dirt, it's ok !!
