T-kieth I definitely think it is a good idea to stock up on the AC PF1072 and equivalent oil filters as this filter ONLY fits the 1988-92 pontiac 2.5L engines and i have a scarry feeling that these maybe discontinued and then we will be out of luck.

Tallpaul,thought I was one of the only ones out there that can't wait til the next change..I only got 104 miles to go and I can't wait...You are right extended drains are killing me...

Got one Fram DoubleGuard filter for either Buick.

And Patman, have you tried going to other Wally's Worlds in the GTA? I've never seen either of the two Hamilton locations that are out of it.

No worries now, after a period of time of no fresh GC, my local Walmart has now fully restocked again.

So I can continue hoarding it until my shrine is full (or my wife kicks me out!)

as an update to this thread, i needed to stock up on cheap oil so i got in on the pennzoil/quakerstate oil deal at pepboys.

each quart of shell was 90 cents, each quart of quakerstate was 80 cents.
i now own:
12 quarts of shell 10w30
12 quarts of shell 20w50
12 quarts of quakerstate 10w40
12 quarts of quakerstate sae30
5 quarts of valvoline max life 10w30 (free after rebate)
thats a whopping $40.80 for 53 quarts of good namebrand oil.
and i am still holding onto that single motorcraft filter waiting for my next oil change.

maybe we should have a thread dedicated to oil shrine pictures? anyone up for that idea?

I'd say the out before the full.

I have to wait at least 3700 miles on the Aerostar, 3700 miles on the Pickup, and 4000 on the motorhome. Bwaaaaaa!

No oil changes for me until well into the fall. Oh yeah, but I do need to do some tranny fluid changes real soon.

Do you suppose BITOG is a secret oil company plot??? Didn't the US Post Office start encouraging stamp collecting because it relized it could move more product, and do it in a whole new market? Castrol product mgr, "Let's see. We'll label it as coming from Europe, so it's more collectible." ;-)

Sorry, just an amateur here.... 6 qts M1 5w30, and 3 filters on hand :-(

Does anyone buy oil in a 5 gallon pail or a 55 gallon drum??

 

[buster]

I don't like to stock up too much. Formulations are changing all the time and in 3MP's case, I believe he is using an older version of Amsoil's ASL. Not trying to make any excuses but Amsoil's recent showing and testing they have done suggest that their oils are more shear stable then ever and don't thicken like in the past. M1 has had it's fair share of formulation changes as well. New additives and ideas are always being thrown into the mix so stocking up can be a bad thing IMO depending on how good the formula is once they make the change. GC though is an exception bc it's hard to find.

I sometimes worry that by stocking up too much GC, they might improve the formula and then I'll want to use that instead of using up my big supply first. But at the same time, I worry that they might stop importing this stuff here, or that it'll change for the worse when API SM comes out. So I continue to add to my collection at the rate of one bottle per week.

It would be one hard task to improve GC.

That oil is as good as they come. I agree though, you never know.

"Now let's see, when I left to go to the supermarket, it was 2,996 since my last oil change. Now it's 3,003. Do I want to risk the drive home or should I just crawl underneath..."

Wow, now that's a bastardization my preperation.

It's there incase I have a serious problem. I do a decent amoutn of SCCA racing and travel some decent distances to the events, so if I have an oil problem I can rectify it quickly. I also keep with me a healthy stock of coolant, brake fluid and an extra radiator cap with my car as well. The only times I have needed a tow home was when I didn't have that stuff with me.

I'm thinking of doing it with Delvac 1300. I use it in all 3 of my vehicles. However, I'll only do it if it is cost effective. Well, only the 5 gallon pail, not the drum. Not enough room in the basement with all my other car parts and race gear.

Speaking of which, I gotta change the tires on the race car...
