Engine oil Question

[Gazza]

My question is

Would fluro light exposure to motul oil affect the properties of the oil making it unusable ?

or

would it not effect it at all?

I have enough oil from previouse oil changes to do a complete oil change but ive got half of it in a 2ltr coke bottle, and the bottle is on the
top shelf next to the fluro light.

Cheers.

An experimental investigation was carried out to study the influence that exposure to light has on the quality of oil during a 12-month storage period by comparing it with the quality of oil stored in the dark. The results showed that the oils stored in the light had significantly lower tocopherol, carotenoid and chlorophyll contents than did the same oils kept in the dark. Moreover, the oils stored in the dark mainly contained primary oxidation products, while the oils kept in the light contained secondary oxidation products as confirmed by the K270 values which exceeded the legal limits even after purification by means of alumina. Overall, the results obtained showed that the shelf life of the oils exposed to light is shorter than that of oils kept in the dark, and that after only 2 months of exposure to light the oils examined could no longer be considered as
























extra virgin.

This is for olive oil..

...nor would Bear Grylls, he'd just go out into the scrub and find oil in the ground. Then he'd drink it beacuase it's a little known fact that oil is 90% protein and just a small cup can keep a man nourished and hydrated for a day..............

I thought Bear Grylls actually pissed 10W30 in the mornings, and 20W50 in the afternoons ?
