Uses for new old ATF-4?

[slowneasy]

Who'd of thought ATF-4 has an expiration date? Well come to find out it does and I have about four gallons of the stuff. So what could it be used for now? Anyone have any good uses? Ed's Red cleaner? Boy, I've got a bunch

Penetrating oil, you would have to look up the mix on the internet.

50/50 with acetone is what I usually see.

My fav penetrant mix is 50/50 Marvel and WD40. Id try 50/50 your ATF and WD40.

Good idea, thanks! If anyone is in the socal area and wants a couple/few quarts, let me know. Free of course since it isn't "good" ATF

How long has it expired?
And why do we not see a Time schedule for change in the vehicle if it has such a date? All we do is change by the miles right?

What I see on the canister, sometimes, is a production timestamp.

Ozymandias, five years shelf life with ideal storage conditions. Dry conditions, 45-80˚, out of sunlight & in unopened containers.

Rereading your post Ozymandias I might not have answered your question. Best guess is I've had it for about twelve years give or take a couple years. Probably give if anything. It was for my 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 that was totaled in an accident 9.5 years ago. Still miss that truck

I put it in my fuel tank

O'Reilly's or similar should take it a gallon at a time or so. Recycle.

I call bs. You should send in for analysis and see if its bad . Just a ploy to make you buy more. Ill take it all! I'm in Colorado. How much to ship?

I wouldn't do that with synthetic base/blend ATFs.

New? Can't imagine why it would have an expiration date. Check the ingredients. Eggs in it or something?
