As per title. I have two bottles of Morris LHM plus unopened sitting on a shelf in the garage.Just curious as to its longevity.

If the tins are sealed Steve, I'd say forever....

LHM is just high quality mineral oil and is non-hygroscopic so it doesn't absorb water like brake fluid does.

Even unsealed, it'll have a long life.
