Does OEM coolant/anti-freeze expire?

I have a gallon of OEM coolant from several years back, and I need to use it again (low coolant). The date on the bottom is 10/18/06.

Packaging or expiration date? Should I use it or just buy a new gallon?

DO NOT USE IT! Send it to me immediately for proper recycling. I'll even waive the hazardous disposal fee in exchange for you paying shipping.

Seriously, its fine, use it. Yes, certain anti-corrosion components will degrade while sitting on the shelf. But you'll be driving something else in the 20+ years it takes to do so.
