Does Coconut oil go bad?

I decided to finally try Coconut Oil in my tea. I didn't realize that my unopened jar of Luannes (?) had a "best used by date" of January 2014. Is it still good? Should I buy a new jar and just use this a body lotion?

    Best by dates are just that. Best eaten by that time, after which it may degrade. If it smells ok, go for it :)

    If it smells funny don't use it. I personally would have tried few days and given up if it doesn't feel right.

    If you do not want to risk ingesting it, it does make a great skin lotion. I have also used it as a stay in hair conditioner as I sleep, then wash in the morning.

    Some people at work think I'm weird because I throw two tablespoons of the coconut oil in my coffee and use the excess (whats left on the spoon) and rub it on my legs. I get some interesting looks/stares... :love:
