Has anyone ever heard of Optimax oil going bad? I went to fill the oil tank in my boat today and the oil didn’t pour out of the jug smooth like it normally would. When I looked at it, there are what look like little lumps in the oil. When I went to feel the lumps, they just disappeared and I couldn’t really feel them, almost like they were some sort of gel.
I tried another jug and it was similar although not as bad as the first.
This was from a new gal of Mercury Optimax Oil that I just pulled the seal off of today and had been purchased directly from Mercury.
Could this be caused by storing in cold temps? It probably got to around 10 degrees in my garage this winter.
Thanks for the help! I will try to post a picture also!
