MotorKote Shelf Life?

What happens to MotorKote if it sits for a long time?

MotorKote has been around for over 16 years and there is no evidence of any problems with product breakdown. MotorKote Hyper Lubricant is however, sensitive to sunlight. If you put it in a clear bottle and leave it in the sun it will darken, even turning black. It will still perform just as well as it was when it was lighter in color.

MotorKote was originally in a translucent bottle with a measuring cup at the top. If it sat on a shelf in sunlight it would change color and look different from bottle to bottle. Customers became confused so we elected to change to a solid black bottle even though we had to give up the measuring cup. In fact retailers demanded the change.

All MotorKote products including the fuels have no “use by this date” stamp or requirements. Store it as long as you like. When you need it, it’s good to go just like the day you brought it home.

Until next time keep the shiny side up and the hammer down—Mr. MotorKote

I have some of the old style bottles of Motor-kote. I think they are very handy so just transfer new stuff to the old bottle.

Will fuel system cleaners strip or degrade Motor-kote? Should I have cleaned the system prior to coating it?
