Key fact Introduction


Products should be Shelf life refers to the recommended time period
stored between during which ExxonMobil advises that a product is
suitable for use (dispensing into equipment), provided

0°C-40°C. the container has remained unopened, undamaged


and was stored indoors. For certain products, short-
duration excursions outside of this range may
be acceptable.

Exxon™ and Mobil™ aviation lubricants

The shelf life of Exxon- and Mobil-branded aviation lubricants is listed on the container
as the “use by” date. If an Exxon- or Mobil-branded aviation lubricant container does
not have a “use by” date listed, check the manufacturing date or certification date in
the Certificate of Analysis (COA) and add the recommended time period listed on this
document to that date to determine the product’s shelf life.

ExxonMobil may extend the shelf life of a specific batch of product based on
package style, package condition, known storage history or test results from an
approved laboratory.

shelf life recommendations.
