For perspective it is worth recalling Agevivo's home lifespan study:
On the bleak side all three mice were reported to have tumours at death despite (from Turnbuckle) a tumour rate expectation of one in four. Although it is not clear the mice died from the tumours and, possibly, given the age of a couple of them the expectation might have been more likely than 1 in 4. But it certainly seems quite likely or at least very possible, given subsequent studies, that c60oo played a role in tumour growth in the mice.
However, the oil used was old, left over from the original Baati study*. Niner mentioned a sample was run on HLPC by Prof. Moussa's lab and suggested 'but I'm not sure that they could tell if the oil was rancid if they were just looking at a c60 signal'. In addition, from Kelsey's Moody's observations, there seems to be some ambiguity in the viability metric of the signal of c60 concentration levels given the presence of toxic bi-products - although presumably, if it met c60 concentration specs then this would indicate an absence of bi-products. On top of that there is still the storage of the oil when handled by Agevivo which, presumably, unless free from light and frozen would have degraded.
The mice were bought from a store at a few weeks old and believed to be 18 months of age (3 females) at the start of the study. From recollection the dosing was weekly, after an additional loading period, but may have increased at some point.
So the administration of the oil used in his experiment, which admittedly we don't know was significantly degraded, but would certainly, in light of current understanding, not be fit for purpose for running a similar experiment, saw the three 18 month old mice** live an additional 4, 13 and 13 months to respective ages of approximately 22 months and 31.5 months (x2)
Anecdotally, the two oldest mice appear to have been quite exceptional in age.
*Does anyone know the storage conditions of the oil: during Baati/post Baati/Agevivo and indeed when it was made?
** possibly a month younger
