Yes you can. If it is decent quality synthetic oil then you can run 3%, perhaps even 2%... but I'd stick to 3% as this lubrication also lubes the crankshaft big end bearing.

I don't think it's ever stated is it? A good while I would have thought. It wouldn't be perishable in the same way that food is.
