Meg`s #9 Shelf life

[DrGonzo]

I bought some Meg`s #9 from an auto parts store today. Almost all of the products they had looked like they had been there for a while. I picked up the bottle with the least amount of dust on it and brought it home. I opened it up and it seems to be very thin. Is this something that is normal for #9 or should i try and return the bottle?

Did you shake it up? Does it look seperated? It should look like an off white cream color. The consistancy is somewhat like a hand lotion.

The color does look right, but it is thinner than hand lotion. I did shake it btw. Is it still alright to use?

That is a tough call. It is hard to tell without seeing it. It is also hard to tell if your definition of thin and mine are the same. It definitely should not pour out like water. If it looks clear at all it is definitely seperated.

It`s not clear at all, but it is very thin. About the consistency of melted ice cream. Not exactly like water but i don`t think its as thick as it should be. The color is still very even though.

I would venture to say it is probably ok as long as the consistancy and color are consistant.
