Sure, you can store it there.  Every car bounces more in the back and can
wear out the bottom of the oil can if it is resting on hard surface.  I like
the left side of the car in the rear better though.  I would use a water
proof box that won't slide out.  Remember, the water runs down to that place
from the gutter and pools up.

Subject: Oil Paranoia - On Storage by the Tail light

I'm completely terrified of getting stuck somewhere with no oil, and with my
Subbievaroom � I have some space behind the passenger tail light in the
engine bay. Hence, I noticed that this space can reasonable, and easily,
hold 6 quarts of oil. So the Question of the Day � is can I safely store
engine oil there, if held securely, even in (a) more acceptable containers?
OR (Capital Or �), will the storing of oil in this location degrade the oil,
and render it unfit for engine consumption? Please let me know, platonically
speaking.
