Exactly one quart of Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 in the plastic tub I keep in the back seat of the truck, for top offs, which I haven't had to open yet. Also half a jug of Prestone Dex Cool premix.

I gave what I had left of Swepco 306 to the neighbors son who's doing small engine repair, and also gave him my old Murray riding mower. Now he mows for me for free. I've tried to pay him but he won't take it.

I've got a truck, two generators, a pressure washer and a chainsaw that need oil. I've been buying premix for the saw, and the generators will get Mobil 1 of some kind next time they need serviced.... probably.

My stash is all gone. Once I retired I actually started using it. Before I would buy the oil and filters thinking I was going to magically have time to do my own oil change then just go somewhere and pay for it. I was amazed at how many car parts I had on the shelf for cars I had twenty or thirty years ago.

I don't have much. Just enough to get by.

We used to stack those up and then plank the cans with pellets for the BB rifle Daisy. As I got older we put the cans in the basement floor like a bowling alley. I bet we probably ran over 2 or 300 of those. I would always stand on them when I was little so I can see what was going on under the hood when my dad was doing maintenance on the car on Saturday mornings. Then I graduated to being about 10:00 and was really excited by the idea that I could stand on empty Budweiser cans and not have to use the oil cans

With the Carquest oil filters on clearance at RockAuto, bought a ton of filters for:

- My LX570
- Wife's Telluride
- Father in law's GX460
- Brother in law's 4Runner
- Sister in law's Odyssey
- Friend's Tundra
- Friend's GX460
- Pastor's Tundra
- Pastor's wife's Sequoia
- Friend's Atlas
- If I buy an old LC100/LX470 in the future
- If I buy a Tundra in the future

You know you have a problem when you're buying filters for vehicle you don't own yet!

I’ve never really had a “stash”. Four five quart jugs is the most I’ve had in the past. Currently finishing up my five gallon bucket of HPL Euro 0w30 and the cars will be good for a while as I barely dive 5k a year now between the two.

The hoard grew a little since last posted it a few months back…

Toyota:
5 qt VRP 0w-20
10 qt PUP 0w-20
5 qt Edge 0w-20
2 N1 filters

Hyundai:
4 qt NAPA FS 5w-30
1 qt 50/50 mix of ST & NAPA blend 5w-30
10 qt QSFS 5w-30
ST and ADelco filter
Fram cabin filter
NGK spark plugs

Lot of sales, rebates, and up coming maintenance needs all hit around the same time. This is the most epic hoard ever for me. But a decent portion will be used here soon.

Bought this stash from a forum member last week, about 50 quarts of oil. And 20 quarts of coolant. I buy and sell at a whim, but usually have a few barrels on hand. It’s like my personal wine collection.

 

[MaximumMini]

Love my older cars. Love the simplicity and reliability. I think they're gorgeous too.
Try to maintain them like aircraft.
Stash? hell yeah bruther!

 

[50yr Street Mech]

I don't know where to begin. Garage is full of oil,filters, jacks,tools, etc. I took over my daughter's playroom. That has tires, headlight assemblies, big hug storage bins for more parts. I can't find 1/2 of the stuff I need anymore . My wife is super mad at me, my daughter is mad at me. I can't help myself. HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm drowning in " stuff" !!!!!!!!!! It's turning into a " Super Fund" site !!!!!!

The only thing I keep as a stash anymore is the “specialty” oils. Stuff for my side by sides/4 wheelers/tractor/mowers/OPE/skid steer/boats. It’s Random stuff like 5w50 oils for my side by side. Stuff that’s hard(er) to find or a weird approval rating.

I just order it once a year from places like Amsoil or wherever. The normal stuff I use like from Mobil1 or valvoline I rarely stash.

 

[Jerrysends]

30 quarts.
Mostly QS EURO 5W40 and Kirkland Signature 5w30.

Kanban.

edit: Just reducing / downsizing, nothing dramatic. It feels good.
