Shelf life represents the time period during which a stored product, suchs as 77 Lubricating oils and greases, can continue to be used without quality-control checks to verify performance attributes. Shelf life recommendations for 77 Lubricating oils and greases are provided as guidance for our customers, distributors and customs. Shelf life recommendations apply to lubricants that have been stored in their original, sealed containers under proper conditions. However, at the end of the shelf life period, 77 Lubricants recommends laboratory testing (recertification) to ensure that the product will continue to provide the promised performance in the intended application.
In general, the 77 recommended shelf life for oils and greases is typically five years when stored properly in the original sealed containers.
