The can could be possessed, so be careful.

If there is a microscopic crack or other leak, just a small temperature change could cause hydraulic pressure to force out a little oil. This will be annoying and possible a fire and marriage hazard.

The easiest way to deal with it is to drain with two tiny holes in the bottom. Rinse with a little solvent or detergent after it fully drains and be done with it.
