If the oil smells off. If the oil smokes excessivly. If the oil is way
darker than when it frirst went in the deep fryer and if the oil has
absorbed a flavour from the foods cooked (ie fish). Canola oil is normally
good for about a year. But frying at temps near it's smoking point lowers
it's smoking point.
