I just spent a couple of hours driving to a half-dozen AutoZone stores around my town, and cleaning up on $2/qt synthetic oils (M-1, Castrol Edge, P-P, and MaxLife Full Syn) in various useful viscosities. The stash is still in the back seat of my car, uncounted, but I think I spent less than $100 for the 40 or so quarts. My wife may want to know if there's help available for me, or if there's a support group for affected relatives . . .
Is There a BITOG Recovery Group?

There are worse things than having an oil addiction.

Just don't drink the oil.

The first step is admitting you have a problem.
15 posts in 54 months would tend to indicate you're okay with it.

Was the M1, the High Mileage and 10w30 with the bad [censored] HTHS of 3.5? Is any of that other stuff any better than the PPPP? lol, you don't need help, just more research and more narrowing down.

Addicted to buying oil?
Duct taped packages of six quarts make great Christmas gifts.

Well for $2.99 you can get reasonable quantities of NAPA oil in a viscosity you want.
I can't understand the long OCI's with a huge oil stash. Seems more logical to me that if you have a large oil collection, you'd want to keep pumping clean oil through the engine.

That's what I'll be doing with the Jeep. Nice short oil changes, you'd be proud Merk
But the Camry is the beater commuter, I go about 7,500 miles with synthetic. I could stretch it out more, especially since it burns a quart every 2,000 miles or so.

Ride with it.
The other Christmas I gave my wife a couple of oil change kits, two nicely wrapped oil filters & two 5 qt. containers of oil with a red bows on top (to be installed by me)... along with other gifts.
Fortunately, she's a practical gal, she put up with it and it keeps her car running.

If you had a lot of money would you build bonfires with it?

He probably would. "Penny wise and pound foolish"
I gave everyone a free oil change and tire rotation for Christmas, so the Auto Zone clearance helped me stock up on Euro 0W-40. There's no shame in stashing oil.
