Your infused oil falls into the "cooked dishes" part, because there is nothing in there to prevent bacteria growth - so the general rule of "3-4 days in the fridge" applies to it too.– rumtscho ♦Sep 2, 2014 at 6:32

Anything stored in olive oil is subject to bacterial growth, even in the fridge. If it is in an air tight container, such as a mason jar, it should last about 1 week. :)
