That’s a lot of black gold.
How big is your stash, hoarders?

Show and tell. All for one vehicle. This is enough for over 2-1/2 years.

Might as well share. Filter stash, not sure if this counts lol. From left to right: All but one Fram Titanium (the taped 3600) are OG wire backed I got from AAP’s clearance back in December/Jan. 7317 for my brother’s Accord, 3600/3614 for my Sequoia. The CQ Premium also from clearance. Fram Endurance 9688 was supposed to fit a ‘94 Accord I was working on, but it wouldn’t thread for whatever reason, so it’s still in my stash (maybe it’s better for H/K applications?) Honda filter was free from state/co. toxic waste recycling program, as was one of the Wix 51258 (for my 1974 Firebird.) Before this, I had no stash! This should last over a year I bet, we’ll see…
I think about 65 quarts currently. Variety of M1, VRP, DELO, HPL, PP Euro-L
It's shrinking fast! Down to just a few gallons of lesser in sed oils. Got a bunch of filters still
The oil goes in like 25 different things though.
According to my spreadsheet I have 242 quarts, but the actual number might be less. It's entirely possible I've done a couple of changes without updating it.

Weird thing, I think I only have maybe 4 jugs of 5W30 synth left. I was thinking I better start buying it.
Then, one of our cars was a total loss and its replacement will use 0W20. That means there is only 1 car left that uses 5W30, so now I'm glad I hadn't run it up to like 20 jugs that it once was....
Another oddity....I just got 6 more oil filters and likely have 6. I always do that with Rock Auto orders, add when shipping on something else will cover it. The new vehicle seems to use the same filter.

55 various quarts of some of the best 5w-30s Walmart has on the shelf, plus a few extra in the garage waiting to go into FIL’s truck
I hope you have a nice funnel........

I maintain six vehicles, and with the recent Pennzoil, Mobil, and COSTCO promotions:
64 qts PUP 0W-40
30 qts Mobil 1 FS 0W-40
30 qts PUP 0W-20
51 qts Kirkland 0W-20
15 qts Kirkland 5W-30
15 qts Valvoline 10W-30 syn blend.
9 qts of Kawasaki 10W-40 JASO MA2
8 qts SuperTech 10W-40 JASO MA2
I made a rough count of filters this morning and came up with 87, mostly hoarding for the Ram. 10060/PH48/x2222/MO-339, etc. Some of those are gonna get sold. It's just too easy to pick up 12 packs on Ebay and Amazon.

For the Toyota:
5qt VRP 0W20 (hiding in the back)
10qt PUP 0W20
3 N1 filters
For the Hyundai:
1qt 50/50 mix of NAPA Blend 5W30 and ST FS 5W30 (in the blue NAPA bottle)
1/4qt Castrol Edge 0W20
Next change on the Hyundai will be a brew of leftovers and whatever is on sale/cheapest at the time.
Not much of a stash but I’m not much of an oil hoarder.

My stash is dwindling. We need a good walmart 3 for the price of 1 pricing screw up so I can re-supply.
Oil wealth is never lost or won, just transferred
My stash is so large, I just had to sell 23 5 quart jugs of different brands of viscosities because I bought them in 2022, and knew I wouldn't get to them any time soon. Darn OFAD! (Oil & Filter Acquisition Disorder) lol. At least the chaps that bought it from me were happy as I cleared them out at a large discount. I had some of the unicorn tears Mobil 1 EP 0W-20 that was supposedly loaded with PAO at the time, too that I sold!
I don't have a count but I could go several years on the oil supply I do have. I don't care to hoard a lot of oil. I don't want a large supply when reformulations, such as API and ILSAC updates. Actually, when I change oil in my cars I want the most recent versons available. At some point of time something might take place that would make it very difficult to get the motor oils we prefer.
