Sorry if this is a dumb question...

But I've got some PAG 100 oil I bought about 2 1/2 yr ago, opened and used a couple-ounces, then closed back up and it's been on the shelf ever since. It's been sealed up all this time, but in a fairly humid garage environment.

Now I've got another system that has leaked down over time and want to add a couple-ounces when I evacuate/recharge it. Is this OK to use, or should I go buy more?

Thanks,
Walter
