How Long Does Oil Last

[Wallace]

Every year the nice people at Lexus Wolverhampton collect the car, do the service and leave me a litre bottle of engine oil, 2 plastic gloves and a paper funnel. My IS200 was 6 years old when we swapped it and it never used a drop of oil. So i have 6 bottles of oil in the garage and tomorrow when the 250 is serviced i will probably get another. Does it have a shelf life?

Doesn't it use special mineral oil with a 10 year shelf life or something ?
