I have a feeling you have more in depth knowledge than I do. But all I can say is that we do the same testing on palm oil. The tests are Free Fatty Acid and Peroxide Value. Palm oil results start to rise in a few months, and coconut oil hasn't risen in 6 years.

Edit: there may be more variables at play than I am aware of. But in our lab, they have the same storage conditions.

Yes the palm oil is rich in oleic, linoleic, etc. but fully hydrogenated palm oil (e.g., stearine) should not show oxidation due to the lack of double bonds.
