I'd say at least a billion years, give or take a few months.

isn't a "case" 6 quarts? so that would only leave 1 extra quart? that raises a few questions in itself... that extra quart only for top offs? you have no plans of changing your oilfor the life of the car?

Actually, I read somewhere a couple of weeks back that it's between 4 and 5 years. This was according to Shell (I believe).

wouldn't it be 2 extra quarts. i only can put a 4 quarts in every oil change. (1 gallon jug of mobil 1).

and yea, it's like 5 years for shelf life.

Depends upon what oil you buy. If it is a case of mobil or somthing, your gona have six quarts. My amsoil comes in 12 quart cases. So I buy on case a year and never get stuck without new oil.
