I have a bottle of Battle Lube (no idea who made that) that must be 15+ years old. Is it still usable? The oil has a golden hue but otherwise looks fine.

If it's full synthetic it should be fine

I have and still use from a gallon of gold cup bought from an old stores inventory... I bought that in 2008, the bottle is dated 97Comment

synthetic oils have good shelf life
Look for significant discoloration, sediment/precipitation, funny smells.

Best oil I have used, kept my rental fleet going when others failed.
They are real friendly too
Hope this helpsComment

Thanks. The oil has a golden/brownish hue in the bottle but I just used it in my A-5 and saw that it is still pretty transparent when poured out of the bottle.
I was wondering: I went for the 'put a few drops of oil into the ASA, remove the barrel and cycle the gun a dozen times' routine. Silly question perhaps but do you need to put oil directly into the ASA air passage hole as opposed to if you put a few drops that pool around that hole the air will push it through? I couldn't 'aim' the oil into the ASA hole."Aren't you getting too old for this??"
"Nope."Comment

The Asa is good, no need to get it only in the tiny hole.
Fun fact, DYE still recommends oil in the asa of their markers to this day, not in the literature, but I got this directly from the bench tech.Comment

It needs to be said, be careful what you use the oil in the asa strategy in.
Anything with delrin in it, you absolutely do NOT want to just dump oil. Delrin is slightly porous, and it WILL absorb the oil and swell.
