Wondering how much liquid paraffin lamp oil to buy for the looming winter, but don't want it to expire before the last snowflake falls? Not to worry - our experience (
Firefly Pure Paraffin Lamp Oil) is that the shelf life of
paraffin lamp oil will last indefinitely if stored in a sealed container. Be sure to always properly replace the cap on the container to ensure maximum shelf life (not to mention safety). If the cap is not tightly secured on the bottle, the oil's shelf life will be reduced significantly by evaporation, which makes it thicken and become unusable.
