Default Oil filter shelf life ?

I found a HD Superpremium 5 oil filter yesterday in my garage. Apparently it had been misplaced and hidden behind some other stuff. My guess is it has been there for maybe 4 years. It's still in the box. Do these things have a shelf life, should I use it or not?

DO NOT USE IT. I'll pm you my address, send it to me and I'll dispose of it properly.

As long as its been stored indoors and wasnt subjected to excessive moisture and the gasket is still plyable use it
