How big is your stash, hoarders?

[thunderfog]

This hoarding just amazes me. I have never been compelled to hoard. I keep 2-3 OC's and maybe a few more only if I find a screaming deal. People with a 10-15-20 year supply of oil will miss out on later classifications of oil. I am sure a number of hoarders have SJ and SL oils still stored up, maybe even some SH. What a waste. I don't even want SM and SN.

What about the fact that it looks like reformulations are going to be occurring with non-group III for a while to cover supply issues? See the Oil Industry news thread on that one. I'd like to circumvent that if I can, so I have 2 years worth or so.

Those of us who kept a supply on hand don’t have to worry about the temporary reformulation…

Just as those of us who bought ammo when it was cheap, don’t have to worry about political events causing major changes in pricing and availability.

Basically a non issue with SL or above.

I never used to have a huge oil stash, but with the base stock supply issues, and $8 jugs of 5w30 at Walmart, I might have gone slightly overboard recently....

Awfully judgmental of you. You assume people have just one car, like you. You assume people with a dozen cases of oil have 15-20 year supply.

But that isn’t true. I’ve got six cars. Plus I work on the kid’s cars on occasion. Let’s walk through the math:

Packard - 8
V70R - 6
SL600 - 10
S600 - 10
Tundra - 8
XC90 - 6

Kid’s cars, 3 Volvos at 6 each.

Annual changes - 66 quarts.

So, if I’ve got 5 or 6 cases of oil - that’s not hoarding, it is simply one change.

Hardly hoarding. In fact, if I have a dozen cases of oil, and a dozen filters, I have fewer changes on hand than you.

Which makes you the relative hoarder, doesn’t it?

Awfully judgmental? Seriously? You call me "Awfully judgmental" for simply expressing an opinion on a subject that's openly discussed? Using that criteria, then every single poster here, including yourself is "Awfully judgmental" because everyone here expresses their opinions.

Additionally I don't assume "everybody just owns one car". I would think the vast majority have two or three. You are a far outlier with six plus vehicles. If you want to do math, do some simple research first:

The average U.S. household owns 1.83 to 2.28 vehicles. Nationally, roughly a third owns one, 36% owning two, and 22% owning three or more.

What hoarding? I think this was the point. It's a bit insulting to call someone with more oil a hoarder.
