I'll grant that lubricants exposed to high temperatures and moisture will develop acid impurities (as might occur in an automobile crankcase), but this is the first that I've heard of out-of-the-can oil being acidic. I'm willing to be disabused of my notions however. But oil is used to protect everything from machine tools to scientific instruments during storage.
