I have a few questions about lubricants. Which lubricants have the longest shelf/storage life? How should I store them to get the longest life out of them.
One year at Camp Perry, I was squadded with a PhD who was a Dupont Tribology expert.
He told me that the primary degradation process for oils and greases is oxidation.
Based on that tiny bit of information, keep the lubricant away from air, and it should last a long time.
So, put the lid on the can and the bottle.
