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?

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.

going to be an ugly storm to ride out for awhile.
 
I still have 8 quarts of Valvoline Restore & Protect 5W30, 8 quarts of Mobil 1 High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W30, and 10 quarts of Castrol Edge High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W30. I have a lot to last, but I will be using up the last of the Mobil 1 later this year since I'm closing in on the 1 year interval for my Pontiac G8.
 
I been slowly buying a bit more than I needed since 2019. This comes in handy because I am always prepared and don’t have to stop at the store before a maintenance event. This site has guided me to some decent deals too. If I knew this current event would definitely be over in ‘27, I wouldn’t have bought any oil last couple months. But, best to hope for the best and prepare for the worst
