2 or 3 oil changes for each car and the bike. When I'm down to one jug I start looking for sales.
Lately, I try and keep an OCI on hand. I buy at Walmart and free shipping to my door on a $35 order, so I grab two jugs at a pop.
2qts of leftover 40s
4qts RT6 5w40
5qts M1 HM 10w40
5qts Castrol Edge 5w40
5qts Valvoline Euro 5w40
15qts QSUD Euro 5w40
15qts Castrol Edge 0w40
18qts PP Euro 0w40
4qts RT6 5w40
5qts M1 HM 10w40
5qts Castrol Edge 5w40
5qts Valvoline Euro 5w40

15qts Castrol Edge 0w40

I usually keep enough to cover the next oil change. I have 2 cars in the household so 3 5quarts jugs.

Just the half quart from the previous oil change
I started, a long time ago, emptying all cabinets from food and clothes and started putting oil in them. Currently in a lengthy discussion with the local Walmart auto department manager to sell me his oil before hitting the shelves.
I have 4 oci of 0w20 for van. 24 qts.
Sheesh! Beginning to question my manhood on this here BITOG lol. I get it I'm a newwwbiee...but dang
What if I said I have 0 on hand. Except 2 cycle oil for my weed eater

I generally just buy it when I'm ready for a OC for me or my wife lol.

Just started buying at the beginning of this year when prices started to creep up. Found a bunch of QS on sale at Walmart and rebates on PP. Now i have 14 5qts of QSFS, PP, Mobil 1 and found 7qts of PP 0w40 SRT on Marketplace for cheap. Plus I just ordered 2 6gal boxes of Duramax oil from Grainger, on sale, due in the end of Sept.Sheesh!

Give it time
especially since all of you wonderful guys at BITOG keep us informed on rebates and sale's. One more automotive fetish to give the wife heartburn!
Having 0? I call that...normal.Sheesh! Beginning to question my manhood on this here BITOG lol. I get it I'm a newwwbiee...but dang

Well, call me abnormal. After the oil clearance of 2019/20, I have way too much to say it's for personal use but I do help friends and family. IIRC, the cost per quart when purchased was about $0.80 and $3 per Fram FPS filter so an average oil change is about $8.
We keep 200 quarts of MobilOne in the basement, next to the furnace. Those bottles get kind of hot some cold days, hehehe...
