Actually, now that I think of it, I dont think ive actually heard of anyone ever having a problem by having their old oil sitting in the car for storage. Also, whats the difference if the car is stored or not, it still has the same oil running/sitting in it regardless of being stored or not...
I think the difference is when you run the engine, then the heat vaporizes some of the moisture and acid away. If the oil is cold and stagnant, that doesn't happen.
