My wife says I have a problem

Oh yeah, and the platoons were each made up of GC green separated by M01, M02, M03, M04 and early M05's all in different platoons.

So really, by our standards here you don't have a hoarding problem.
 
15L? That's not a hoard...

Now THAT'S A HOARD (not to mention an unusual loyalty to one brand and grade).

Here's to EKPOLK, wherever he is!

My wife and my common since have finally curbed my hoarding. I'm still only 4 qts down from my high water mark of 268 qts plus dozens of bottles of various additives. Eh, it's part need and maybe part hobby. When we go to Wal-Mart we have a set route, now. I vear off toward the oil aisle and when I've got my fill of comparing prices and looking for deals, I meet up with her and the kids in the childrens' clothing section, where she looks for good deals. Works for me.

You guys are very patient with your females.
I went out on a date with a girl many years ago, every thing was going ok till the subject of car upkeep was brought up. I was explaining how important it was to change oil, when she said, "Why should I change the oil, I'll just have you buy me a new car every year."
I stopped talking, pulled into a gas station, got out of van, walked over and opened her door, I said, "Get Out!"
She said she didn't need any thing at the store.
I said a little firmer, "Get OUT!"
She got out, I slammed the door, walked around the van, got in and left.
Never spoke to her again. She did call up a week later, I hung up the phone.
 
My other half is enthralled at the domain name for this BBS.

She calls it bobistheoildork.com.

I have a couple afternoons off from work so I cook and she calls to see what dinner will be. I planned a shepherd's pie last Friday so I could bake it unattended for 40 minutes while I changed the oil in her car. This schedule coincided nicely with the weather (ice-clear, safe driveway), a hot oil pan, and the recent hiatus of sheperds pie on our menu.

As said above, opportunity cost. I was just going to sit around while dinner baked. Multitasking baby!

You're making that up, right? Surely you jest!

If not, you're my new hero.

My wifey laughs about it. The other day while driving she says to me "every weekend you make time for the truck, what about your family" I said "you guys got Sunday".
I don't have an oil collection and since my current bypass setup and soon to TP filtration, don't expect to need no more than 5qt or so for topping off when replacing a filter.

More power to you guys...

I don't drink alcohol, smoke, or gamble...

so I don't see anything wrong with having 220 quarts of closeout oil, 25 oil filters, and 5 air filters. When Advance Auto closed out Valvoline Durablend, I just had to use self control not to buy any more oil. But I did buy 22 bottles of Redline injector cleaner for future use.
 
I stayed away from this board for a few months and my oil and filter stash diminished nicely. I even re-sold some oil. I was down to maybe a one year supply.

This week I went out and bought a dozen AA Totalgrips and two cases of QS 5w30 all at bargain prices.

You guys are a bad influence! Shame on you!

Jeez, I was at a Home Depot in Hagerstown Md. fixing network junk today and they were selling SM-rated QS and Pennzoil Dino for .79 on the still going strong summer close-out. Except for here here on Bitog, it's a well-kept secret. I have so much PP from the H.D. summer closeouts, so much QS and PP from the 2-4-1 and Havoline disco sale, I just don't have any more room for oil..

So naturally, I bought 10 QS 5W30, and the last eight 5W20 Pennzoil dino.
