I was always told to verify the amount of sealant every once in a while and replace it completely after a few months. It will vary from a brand to another, but 6 months is the most I've seen when reading the instructions on the back label of the product.
Funny thing is that I did my girlfriend's tires (removed tires, cleaned, put fresh sealant and re-install tire) yesterday and even after 1 year of usage, there was still 2oz in there, and sealant hadn't turned bad. Color was OK, texture and smell as well. She didn't put much mileage last year, but still! She was using OEM giant sealant. I put Muc-Off this time and will see if it lasts as long.
