What do you mean? Yes, paint on wood trim is typically latex these days. Some older homes may still have alkyd (oil), though. To find out for sure, put a little nail polish remover on a cotton swab and rub it on the paint in an inconspicuous location. It it gets soft and starts to come off, it's latex. Either way, sand it lightly and recoat with the same type of paint and you're good. If you're asking about bare wood, DON'T USE LATEX! The water will swell the grain of the wood. Use an oil primer that is made to take latex topcoats.

It costs a lot more to use oil paints rather than latex paints. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, the ingredients that make up oil paint are much more expensive than ingredients for latex paint. Second, due to companies having more earth friendly restrictions, oil based paints have gone up in price and are harder to find now (oil based paints are less earth friendly than latex paints)

Latex is a water-based paint so it will not store as long as oil based paints. Also it will be subject more by how you stored it. Freezing, and loose tops will effect the latex more than oil based paint. You can always open and stir it up and see what the condition it's in. Usually you can tell the conditions by looking at it after you stir it up if you are able to stir the paint much.
you can but after it dries it will prity much peels off. if it gets wet it will start peeling off.
