Depending on the lubricants manufacturer the average shelf life for all petroleum oil products range from 3 to 5 years. There are two main reasons. One is additive separation or dropout and the other is breakdown of oil due mainly to oxidation. If I'm not mistaken Shell list shelf life of oil as 3 years.
