How big is your stash, hoarders?

Gasoline is what you will run out of if Yellowstone blows and Cali gets a 9.0 quake. In the bunker I keep 10 Scepter military jugs full and a hand drill and sealable drain pan to harvest the last few quarts of gas out of all the abandoned cars along the way.

Are we talking strictly oil or oil and oil filters?

I have 17 oil filters, 6 QTs of Valvoline EP, 4 quarts of Valvoline Maxlife, 4 QTs of Rotella T6, 1 QT of Ultra Platinum, 1 Quart of Dexron VI and 3 QTs of R&P.
I think your stash of oil filters should match the number of oil changes your oil stash is for.
 
You have a hobby of collecting different oil filters or something lol
Something like that 😂. I usually place one RockAuto order a year, so about 11 filters. Just happened to place an extra order this year and got some CarQuest Premiums and then a new car as well. I service 3 cars, a mower, and a jetski. About 36-42k miles a year across the three cars, so 3 filters per car per year, then one seasonal change on the mower and jetski. I’ve also been migrating away from WIX after many many years into Premium Guard made filters, which doesn’t help my oil filter itch, I don’t surf RockAuto multiple times a day for Premium Guards to come up on closeout, I swear. 😂
 
Today, only ~12-13 qts. Maybe a partial too.
I once had over 100 qts. when I first discovered BITOG and the "Products Rebates, Sales and Promotions" section and I was buying up shelves of discontinued oils or when the parts stores were moving products around and making room for new inventory. And if there was a rebate on that oil, I was cashing in on that too, often making a few bucks in the process. But those days are few & far between.
I still look to make a score now & again.

Toyota filters come in a case of 12, packaged really neatly, very high quality build. Gasket comes pre lubed with a cover on top. Don't even check them out, it might be very hard for a person like you to resist lol.
