so yesterday was oil change day YAY!

I found 4 quarts of royal purple 20w40 tucked away in my carparts stash. I bought 8 quarts of it because it was on sale when I first got my car about 2 years ago and I guess forgot about the other 4 *I have changed the oil since then..just forgot about the oil I had* Oil has shelf life of 5 years, so I went ahead put it in.

As I was taking the car off jackstands, the ground I was on gave and the car slipped off the jackstand and came crashing down. It was enough to bend the jackstand all to hell, but the car seemed fine, nothing leaking or broken ect. I start my car up today and when the engine turned over I heard a CLACK ACK! then it went away.

Could it be I have bad oil, or something associated with the car falling.
