Looks like a pack date IMO.

I live in iran, in here this kinds of thing are normal because of very difficult import law
I just want to know that is it still usable or not?

I’d say that oil will be perfectly fine. I don’t know if there’s any shelf life for motor oils but I’ve never heard of that.

ok
shelf life 3 years for well sealed bottle
though that cuts into fluid service life
