2 Stroke Oil Go Bad?

I had a friend give me ten gallons of Artic Cat oil that hes not going to use. Its from two seasons ago, will it be ok or should I just buy new oil? Thanks

Whatever you do DON"T RUN IT! Box it up and send it to me!

As long as it was sealed and stored in a place without huge temp swings it will be fine.

The oil will be fine as long as it was stored in the jugs. I had some amsoil that I had to thow away because it was in a 55 gallon barrel and after a couple of years of sitting in an un-heated garage, it picked up enough condensation that the bottom turned milky.
