Is it possible for that old oil to be too old to use?

nah, it just has to transfer the heat away from the cartridge.

The inst. of the struts was a brease for me no problems I did let the oil set overnight to settle. Had the alignment done today they just had to play with the toe on the front and R rear. The Max looks great now I'll post pics soon.
