Watch oil/grease expiration date

[bytes2doc]

The oils from Moebius have an expiration date, many of three years. That makes no sense as we do not service our watches every three years. Even the synthetic oils have expiration dates.

Is the expiration date a marketing ploy to sell more product, or is there research that show breakdown of the oil properties?

Do you all throw out your expensive bottles and buy fresh every three years?

Well the idea is that professionals buy these and use them everyday.
