I have 18 sealed cans, yes cans, of Valvoline Dexron II. Is it still usable?
Steel top and bottom, cardboard middle.Steel or plastic?
I can't assume on "cans".
I remember back in the day cans made of cardboard.
Perhaps the question should be asked to the manufacturer, providing the lot number or date on the fluid's container.....that way you'll have a definitive snswer rather speculation or "guesstimate".......I have 18 sealed cans, yes cans, of Valvoline Dexron II. Is it still usable?
In today's dumb downed world the manufacturer may not even know what Dexron II even is.Perhaps the question should be asked to the manufacturer, providing the lot number or date on the fluid's container.....that way you'll have a definitive snswer rather speculation or "guesstimate".......

Also...they'd be too scared that there would be an issue and they'd be held liable.You think a manufacturer would advise to use the old stuff if they can lie and sell you new stuff?
Thursday I got 6 quarts of this stuff:I've collected some "seasoned" cans and bottles of oil from the recycling section of the county dump. People clear out their late parents place and bring the stuff in for disposal and the dump puts it aside for people like me. I like that.
WHY???? Just to save a few $$$ ??. Take it to the re-cycling center snd have it disposed properly. Lubrication and fluid technologies have changed by the order of several magnitudes over the years, with the addition of newer polymers and anti-wear components. If this product is so good, why is it not still available? Personally, I would not use it in my Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine. If you would not put this oil in your classic car, why buy it? ......just curious....??Thursday I got 6 quarts of this stuff:

I remember the TV ads for this stuff a long time ago.

SF is the highest rating when this was sold? They are up to SN or SO now.
More scores from the county dump. The facility is down the road from a 55+ community so I wonder how many more seasoned elders have stuff like this in their garages.
I’ve scored gallons of windshield washer fluid, multiple cans of WD40, brake fluid (unopened) wax… bug and weed killer, all sorts of good stuff.
