  A product’s shelf life is described as “the amount of time a commodity may be stored until it becomes unfit for use, consumption, or sale.” It’s important to remember that manufacturers assess a product’s shelf life based on normal usage and storage expectations. When handled properly in their initial sealed containers, oils and greases have a five-year shelf life. If recommended recommendations are not followed, the estimated shelf life can be shortened. The majority of products, including lubricating greases, degrade over time. The degree of oxidation of lubricating greases is highly dependent on storage conditions. A lubricating grease’s shelf life can be extremely long if stored properly. Storage Tips : Lubricants may change their appearance and/or color when exposed to light, so keep them in a dark place. Water penetration in sealed, opaque containers may encourage microbial growth and affect certain additives, resulting in the formation of insoluble material. Never store in...

  Automotive engines are being engineered to be more dynamic, quicker, and powerful as technology advances. However, these advancements come with their collection of problems, the most serious of which is oil degradation. Many types of equipment failures may be caused by fluid deterioration. A lubricant in use is exposed to a variety of conditions that can degrade it. Here are some causes of engine oil degradation :  Oxidation: The reaction of oil molecules with oxygen molecules is known as oxidation. It may cause viscosity to rise. Also, there will be the formation of varnish, sludge, and sediment. Additive degradation and base oil breakdown are also possible outcomes. You will notice a rise in the acid number when an oil begins to oxidize. Furthermore, oxidation can cause rust and corrosion on the equipment. Thermal Breakdown: One of a lubricant's key problems is the thermal breakdown. The temperature of a lubricant is one of the most important things that one should conside...
