For at least 15 years I kept to the following: Every 2 or 3 years purchasing 20 (25) liter drum of spare oil for my Zet (MillersOils CFS 5w40 NT+) and used it upon my needs = ie. storing half empty/half full drum for a year or two (always lidded, of course, at room temperatures in darkness) until I run off it and purchasing a new drum. But quite recently I got a "disgusting" comment on that - "I would NEVER use oil stored like this" but with no further (technical) comments or explanations.
Over the years I never came across any issues related to degradation (oxidation? or else?) of my oil stored like this.
Consequently, I found somewhere something about the issue:
In my case the opened drum never lasts longer than approx 2years.... and no issues whatsoever.
This is simply / rather confusing.....
Is there anyone (= a real expert in tribotechnics/lubrications) to comment some pros and/or cons to such a way of storing spare oil?
