Default Engine Oil Expiry question..


It says on the oil bottle to change oil every xxxxkms or when i reach 6 month periods of time right?

I have 3/4 bottle opened 10months ago but never used Mobil 1 engine oil in my garage..I was wondering if i can still use the oil next time i change oil with new oil that i buy..

I'm not sure if i can use it because it says 6 months max but my oil has been opened for 10 months. please help thank!

I would follow the recommendation in your car's owner's manual and service manual, rather than what it says on the oil bottle. Or, you can change the oil more often than that (or less, if you want - it's your car) but that's the recommendation most relevant to your car.

Yes, you can still use oil in a bottle that was opened ten months ago.
