I have an un-opened 6 pack of stihl 2 stroke oil that is about 8 or so years old. Is it still good?:monkey:
 
It is destined for service in an old 031av or a BR400. Both seem to really love the 100LL avgas.
 
One time I orderd about a half of case of motorcycle 2 stroke oil thinking I was saving money. I never used it and it sit on the shelf for several years until the bottles started leaking. Possibility it could break down and not be good. Why risk it? Start fresh. Probably wouldn't hurt to dump a little along in the bar oil jug to get rid of it.
