What is the shelf life of Castrol XL30 monograde oil?

I use Castrol XL30 monograde oil in my Ford E93A engine and bulk buying is cheaper. What would be the shelf life of the oil?

Every oil is different, and a lot depends on how the lubricant is stored, but generally most manufacturers say engine oil has a shelf life of four to five years.
