Hello folks:
I now have a few trucks which have toolboxes on them. I usually keep a quart or two of oil in the toolbox just to have in case I ever need to add any or help someone out etc.
Where I live will begin to see temps in the 90's everyday, so I'm sure the inside of the metal toolbox on the bed will easily reach over 100+F inside the toolbox while the truck is in the sun.
Will this lower the quality of the oil any? I know oils see temps much higher than this in the motor, but it would be flowing around, not sitting still in a plastic container.
Overall, I guess I'm asking if the constant fluctuation of temps, 50-60's nights and 90+ days, will hurt the oil while it's just sitting in the toolbox.
Am I overthinking? Is it really any different than a parked car with oil in the pan? The only difference being the oil is in a plastic bottle?
Thanks in advance
