Crisp and Dry Cooking Oil

Would you use Crisp and Dry cooking oil which was out of date and if yes how far out of date?

    The cooking oil in my cupboard is a year out of date and it is fine. Does the same job and we use it so rarely and in such small amounts I 'll probably have it for another year.
    Trying to save money and always open to ideas and expecting our first child in March 2015.

    Thanks!

    The bottle in question is a 2 litre bottle and the person purchased it for their deep fat fryer which they haven't used for years although they did clean it but never got round to putting the oil into the fryer.

    Would you use it in this way? BTW the oil is out of date since September 2013.

    So long as it doesn't smell rancid, it will be fine to use.

    Cooking oil has dates? :)
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)
