You make me faceplam, and question your generation.
Joking aside,
As long as don't store it in an open container, oil will go "rancid" in about 10 years and that if you have oil from the 80's. Today's oil would be good for up to 20 years.
So yeah it's an old myth
Like others said, either keep it in the garage or keep it in the trunk.
