We all have too much of a stash, we all buy when it's on special, it's the perfect oil for the car that we have.
Then we find a better oil, return the oil that we've bought and buy the new one on special, have the odd quart here and there , particularly annoying when it's in 5 litre or gallon jugs.
Given that your fleet is changing constantly, you may have to top up with an unknown quart while on the road, and there are hundreds of cars out there that call for your particular grade.
We'll call the particular grade 5W30 as an example, but if your fleet has a different one in the manual, then suit your owner's manual.
Why not get a 20L (5 gal) pail , or better yet a home brew kit. Fit it with a dessicant breather, and stuff a bit of sponge in the breather so that dust doesn't get in.
Every time you get an odd quart, throw it in the vat.
Every time that you need to do an oil change, drain it off the tap (home brew kit best, but 20L pail can have it also).
That way you don't have to worry about inventory, as there's only one supply.
Would you do it or not ?
would you encourage others to do it, and what benefits do you believe that it offers ?
