Default Does oil go bad?

I'll probably dump it, but in my shed, I have cans of two stroke oil that

There's no reason the old oil should be bad unless water has gotten
into it. That would typically show up as light colored cloudy
streaks.

Why not have a mechanic check it out? You could ruin it very quickly
running with no oil.
