Never has. It's a nonissue.
Back when oil came in cardboard cans with metal ends that you punctured, everybody kept around open cans of oil for topping up. It was a good thing to keep a rag on top to keep dust out of the holes, but if one hadn't been covered you'd just wipe off the top of the can and pour it in. Oil stored that way worked fine. Over years of standing still, some oil components may gravitationally settle. Giving it a shake's a good idea. |
