Stocking Up On Motor Oil

[tbw2459]

Saw the increase in motor oil prices and picked up two 20 quart boxes of valvoline restore and protect 0w-20 for $117. Thought everyone should know since Walmart currently has it at the same price before the increase except for the 5 quart jug. Wondering if anyone else stocked up too?

Kidding lol definitely a good oil to stock up on. There are plenty of posts regarding increasing prices so this thread may get locked. Search is your friend here. Enjoy it

When the garage box is opened, how long does it last in storage after air gets in the garage box. I know sealed motor oil can last for several years but was wondering how long unsealed oil can last.

Put the cap back on and forget about it until your next oil change.
You're going to get responses telling you to do a search. This open bottle Q comes up at least once a month.

Haha thanks, didn’t realize the rabbit hole and stocking up everyone does here! Thought I was insane buying 40 quarts of oil but glad i’m not the only one.

@tbw2459 Alternatively you could just keep a minimal amount of extended drain oils like Amsoil SS or HPL on hand and just not worry about it. Don't be a slave to the news cycle.

Well, after about 60 days it starts to taste funny. That’s subjective though.

Prior to the Iran war... I bought and bought a bunch.... I looked for smoking deals on Amazon and Walmart.... and I scored. I now have, probably three years at the least.... and probably have 6-8 years of 15w40 for all my littler engines..... and my Diesels..
