I have enough to complete the warranty (100,000kms) on a 2 month old car, and enough to oil change the other car for 2 years. Is this OOCD (obsessive oil collecting disorder)?

Only 30 qts for 2 cars (about 1 yr). 6 filters.
Look in the photo section of BITOG and you will see my stash along with other people's stashes.
I got about 150 quarts, but I still look for any closeout oil under 99 cents.

I am down to 2 jugs of Synpower, 4qts of AMSOIL ATF, and 2 bottles of ARX....need to find some killer deals soon.
I keep a couple of cases on hand along with a few oil filters.
I like being able to pull a car or bike in the shop and work on it without having to run to the store something every time. So I keep expendable supplies on hand.

I have 50 quarts for 2 cars ranging from 5w-20 to 30wt to 15w40.

Mine.........1/2 quart of RP 20W50 and 1/2 quart of Amsoil 80W90 GL5 from my rear diff change I`d done awhile back. But like KW,I like to be able to just walk outside and change the oil without having to make a run for the store first,so I always buy the oil/filter a month or so before the oci comes up.
My stash, 10 qts PP 5W-20, 12 qts PP 5W-30, 24 qts Mobil 1 0W-20, and about 40 or so qts conventional oil. About 20 filters, 6 bottles A-Rx, and enough MMO to choke a horse.

I have, oil: more than 80 quarts, VSOT: 12 bottles, oil filters: 10, air filter: 3, fuel system cleaner: 7 bottles.
Oil and filter will lasted me more than 3 years, that why I'll only buy more oil if it is less than $2/qt for synthetic and less than $1/qt for dino.

8qts GC gold
2.5 gallons Rotella T 10W30
partial Gallon of Special Rotella blend for the lawnmowers.
3-4 random quarts of oil.
3 qts Amsoil 75W110 thats actually going to go in my car in about 30 minutes.
Going to make a Schaeffers run soon. Need to get a case of ATF, and a case of 7000 5W20. Might get two of the 5w20. Its not getting any cheaper and my car takes half a case...

Yeah, I reached about 280 qts (plus loads and loads of arx, SLOB and other additives) in the summer of 2007 and have been working that down ever since. Probably around 220-230 qts now as I change the oil in my 9-5 once every month to month and a half. CR-V gets 2-3 oil changes a year... Been working through the synth first as the SAAB needs it and I just figured I'd treat the Honda nice. I don't intend to buy anything that requires synth after I get rid of the 9-5....

I quit "pack-ratting" many years ago. I like going to the store and getting oil! I keep a couple of quarts handy, for top offs and whatnot, but I never really keep a straight OCI. I run oil till it feels like it's due for a change (between 3-5k depending on vehicle). I wake up in the morning and go "hmmm, think I'll change the oil today" and look online at what kind of deals AZ, Advance, and Napa have going. I find the best deal on a brand I run and go get it. Sometimes when I go to Chinamart (WM) where my GF does her grocery shopping I'll wander over to the oil aisle and maybe pick up something but that's pretty rare.

I'm guilty of OOCD. I buy anything at 40% (or more) off...
My once 100 or so quart stash is down to 1 5qt jug of Superflo and 6 quarts of Kendall, both in 10w30.
I plan to stock up again just after Christmas.
