Question How long can you store/hold oil for?

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about stocking up on a year worth of oil for vehicles in my house , since there's lots of sales going on right now. How long can i store the oil in the bottle until it goes bad? This is about new oil...

I'm looking at Mobile 1 regular & synthetic...


Thanks!
