Not in the picture is the recently purchased MC. Somehow, the less motor oil I have, the better I feel now. Priorities change.

Well. if you're looking for backers to your new thread and oil choices, don;t read my post any further. Just skip right over it.
If not...... My priorities change would be to return the Supertech and stay with the brands in both your engines - shown in your signature.
Only thing I would question is the 0W20 in your Sportage 2.4. I'm a thickie, so 5w30 would be my choice, especially inside of Florida.
First weight to return would be your non-Dexos 5w20. That'll go bye-bye to the Wally's Return Customer Service Counter quickly.

I don't understand the stash of Supertech?
Unless you get a really good deal on it, I would let the store stock it (this coming from someone with over 28 gallons of oil in the garage).
And am I the only one that when I look quicky at the bottles sees 15w-20? I noticed it when in the store today as well.
that SAE written sideways next to the 5 just looks like a 1 (or even a 3).

Why hide the yellow jug?

Yeah, I don't really understand it either, they don't really go on sale although I assume they probably go up and down a dollar or two like everything else at Walmart once in a while.
I still have a stash of Castrol 0w40, but I got those when they were $10 for a 5 quart jug in the Autozone clearance a few years back.

When the new jug design came out for $15, I didn't know how long it would last at that price. But I understand the sentiment . Incidentally, the 5w20 ST is SN PLUS, but not d1G2 where the 5w30 is both.
The yellow jug is Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30.
I've given away much more than I keep, lol.

Heck yeah, I just ordered two jugs of PUP 5W30 for my new Impreza. I put in some PPHM right now until I can address the leaking spark plug tube o-rings, but I had phenomenal results with PUP 5W20 in my Fusion. Oil was good to 15k+ and was running below 1ppm Fe/1k. I still have 6 jugs of the 5W20 I now have nothing to put it in
I'm thinking I'll purchase two more jugs of Pennzoil to fill my 4 jug rebate for 2019 since I don't really trust that our double secret Pennzoil rebate will still be available all year. As for Supertech, here is a copy of the back of the jug. The specs are there. Boutique boys need not apply.

We should all serve or extend a helping hand from time to time. It kinda runs in our family.
Both my elder brothers served (one as a Marine and now a retired Cop, the other is retired AirForce), one in the middle east during the first war in Iraq. My Sister was in the AirForce for a while too. I got a scholarship to university but became a police officer for 10 years after school. Duty has a strong calling for many who serve in one capacity or another.

Every time I've had an oil stash I've always ended up giving it away.
