Default Waterlox vs. Parks Tung Oil

We have some old clear redwood that was finished 30 plus years ago with
Parks brand Tung Oil. It is dry and I would like to rejuvenate it, but I
am not looking for a high gloss finish, just a light shine.

I have never used the Parks product, but we still have a very old can of
it around. My husband did the original finish in the living room with
Parks.

My expereience has been using Waterlox and I am comfortable using it. I
have their Satin finish available.

Could anyone give me a rundown of both these products, and also advise
if using the old can of Parks is a good idea? I assume I will have to
strain it and possibly add thinner to it.

Thank you.

Tung has a short shelf life once it's exposed to air. Hope it's
not gelled.
