I have an unattached garage that regularly sees cold temps all winter long and have always stored my oil there without problems.
SOPUS & Mobil both said 24 months. The schedule they sent me was:
Unopened in factory sealed container stored indoors = 60 months
Unopened in factory sealed container stored subjected to freezing = 24 months
Once opened and air introduced = 12 months.
