I just got a deep fryer literally two days ago how often should I change the oil?

They say around around 10 uses or a max of three months, depending on how often you use it and what you're frying.

For me personally I tend to stretch it a bit further... the main thing is that it isn't rancid or starting to get too dark.

Most importantly, old oil can have a lower smoke point than is safe. Definitely replace your oil if anything starts to taste burnt.

Drain it through a filter and refrigerate it if you aren't using it constantly. It'll go rancid pretty quick.
