what's in your oil stash???

[mech_tech]

I must admit, after reading these forums for years I have gathered quite a collection of oils. Between my dodge truck, my girlfriend's kia, and the random lawn equipment I take care of I have developed quite a stash of oil bottles of this that and the other. Just curious what you guys keep on hand at all times? I pretty much always have 30w for the mowers and 10w-30 for the truck, I also keep a gallon of cheap transmission fluid for flushing out the crankcase of engines in friends vehicles that are often way over due for an oil change. What would you guys consider your typical inventory for around the house? How about in your vehicle tool box, do ya'll always carry extra for the "just in case" moments?

Currently only Pennzoil and Mobil synthetic products, ranging from 0W20-5W40.

RP 0-20, PP 0-20, BC 0w30, M1 0w30 AFE, SynPower 10-30. Maybe something else but I'd have to check, mostly bought on clearance.

 

[CarbonSteel]

I have donated quite a bit of mine and am down to 1 brand/type for the Explorer, 4 brands/types for the F-250, and 1 brand/type for the Brute Force 750:

Explorer:
- M1 AFE; 0W-20 (50 Qts)

F-250:
- Chevron Delo 400 LE; 5W-40 (10 Qts)
- Chevron Delo 400 LE; 15W-40 (40 Qts)
- Mobil 1 Delvac ESP; 5W-40 (80 Qts)
- Shell Rotella T6; 5W-40 (16 Qts)

Brute Force 750:
- Quaker State Defy; 10W-40 (10 Qts) - will switch to the same oil as the F-250 when the QS runs out.

The better question might be "What's NOT in my oil stash".....

 

[eljefino]

I have a considerable quantity of 10w40 Peak I got on clearance that I save for "beater oil".

I have a bunch of 10w30 that will work in my camry in summer, mostly maxlife and kendall.

A bunch of AFE 0w30 for my MILs buick (dexos) and wife's HHR.

Five different brands/ kinds of antifreeze... Neon took G-05, Camry Zerex Asian, F150 Green snot, and HHR dexcool. I also have universal: looks green, acts like dexcool. Plenty of ATF too.

Various oils bought on special: Some Super S 5w-30, a jug of Mobil 1 10w-30 high mileage, a gallon of Mobil 1 TDT for the generators, jug of Chevron 5w-30, and a few other miscellaneous quarts. Not much of a stash, really. I do have a nice little pile of CarQuest Blue oil filters that I got from the Rock Auto blowout, though.

 

[barkingspider]

Right now I have about 6 OCI worth of super s 5 & 10w30 in my stash.

 

[Toyoguy]

Ok, here it goes:

5qts Castrol Edge 0w20
5qts M1 AFE 0w20
4qts Castrol HM 5w30
4qts Castrol Edge 10w30
4qts M1 10w30
4qts Castrol HM 10w40 (just in case)
1qt of frankenbrew from all the left over bottles I drain the residual out.

 

[Branson304]

Three 5 quart containers of Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20
One 5 quart container of MaxLife Full Synthetic 5W-30
One 5 quart container of Mobil Super High Mileage 5W-30

Two Motorcraft FL-820S, One Purolator Classic L24651, One FRAM Tough Guard TG2

A quart of Platinum, a quart of MaxLife, a quart of Castrol Edge & a quart of Mobil 1 are also around for top ups. My oil stash will be depleted by spring. I try not to keep much around.

 

[Pontual]

I donated all my 9qts stash, but my flushing brews.

 

[AlienBug]

One bottle of Mobil 1 EP 0w-20, about half full.

 

[147_Grain]

Mobil 1 0W-20 EP and 0W-40 (blending for winter / summer) for the 3 newer vehicles.

Valvoline MaxLife 5W-20 and 5W-30 for the 2 older vehicles.

 

[Eddie]

3 5Q jugs of PP and 2 Fram Ultras. I see little value in stocking up over a year since a new improved spec is coming out every 2-3 years? ed

 

[Swiper]

30 quarts of 5w30 Mobil 1.

 

[turtlevette]

Redline 40
Redline 50
Klotz 0w 40
Pennzoil 0w 40
Maxlife 20w 50

 

[BHopkins]

RP HP 0W-20 and Castrol Edge 0W-20 for the Outback. M1 5W-30 for the Alero.

I kind of backed off from building my stash when I realized that I had almost 3 years worth for the Outback. Now I'm down to about 2 years supply. And I'm getting a little tired of the Alero as my commuter car, so I'm only keeping one oil change at a time on hand. That way I won't have a large stash left over if I change rides one day.

I have too much. Have to stop buying oil at least for PCMO oils.
