Default How long is oil good for?

Those are two VERY different questions.

Canola oil in the original sealed container will last years. After
opening unused canola oil still in the container will last a few
years.

The best length of time to use oil in a deep frier is once. Every
time oil is heated it has more transfats. So ideally use as little
as you can and change it daily. As a practical matter consider
changing some of it daily. The more you change the better the fries.
