Winter oil storage

[Bob in Utah]

All my oil is stored in the cool side of my garage

Stays about 62* all winter

68* closer to the NG radiant tube heater

In the process of moving from NC to PA, I moved my stash of about 72 quarts to my new storage unit, only to find out later that motor oil is prohibited as a flammable item. PITA. So into the new garage it went--stored in winter at about 55 degrees. The oil won't care.

That's a reason why I don't have a real oil stash. Never want to move it. I have a garage full of "must have" tools (I tell my wife). No room for cars. An oil stash might push things over the edge.

While I enjoy saving money on oil and I use 14 QTs of 5W40 diesel rated oil per oil change I don't have an oil stash. I did have a small stash when they were transitioning from CJ to CK oil and it was hard to find CK rated oil on the Ford approved list.
