It would not worry me to mix a quart of "old" oil into the crankcase at each 
change if I were looking to use up or get rid of old stock and avoid 
throwing it into the trash.

JR,
I'd never just toss it in the trash... I have LOTS of old oilers (oil squirt 
cans) that I use around the house and on the car... works great on hinges, on 
generators and distributors with the old oil caps, on the wick of the 
distributor points if you have the old Standard "blue streak" type... cables, pulleys, 
and anything else that will squeek or rust.... and lots of my old window fans 
(no a/c here at the log cabin, and we've had temps as high as 101 outside 
here this summer!
Throw it away? NEVER... Use it? Sure, just not in my Corvair's engine... not 
when there's better stuff out there.... now maybe in the lawn mower...
Be good!
