Shelf life of Klotz R50

[broncbob]

I have a gallon jug of Klotz R50 that has to be going on 5 years old now. It was opened and about a quart used, then capped and stored in the garage. It actually came with a 96 that I just picked up, and the bike was last rode in 05.

As far as I know R50 does not breakdown in a capped jug. I would shake it up good to make sure it has not settled out, and then pour it in a measuring(RatioRite) cup and see what it looks like. As long as it is the reddish purple color and not chunky, watery or cloudy I would use it. I have used R50 that was over two years old with no problems, but you need to make the call, it is your bike and your problem if anything happens.

Far as I know Klotz R50 does not break down. I have been using Klotz for over 7 years and it my first choice. Bansheesandrider had good input. Good Luck

Probably still good. I was told by Maxima support that their 2 stroke oil (Super M) is good for 10+ years, so Klotz is most likely too.
