Purchased some manual tran oil and it's from 2015..still good?

KiX1911 · 05-12-2018, 08:42 AM

I went to the dealership to purchase some manual transmission fluid (MTF-LT-3) for my 2007 323i so it took a few days to get here but when I got home I saw it was made in April 11 2015... That kinda bothered me since it code me $105 for the two bottles... Should I go back and say WTF or does it matter being on the shelf that long..

It would bother me to if the dealership sold me oil that is almost 3 years old but apparently sealed oil has a shelf life of 5 years.

Thanks for the input guys... What about motor oil what's your thoughts on that? Cuz they gave me oil around the same years

Stored in a cool dry place, no issue
