You know you're a BITOGer when...

yeah.. making a b-line to the oil section of any store, to see what they have and what their prices are is a bad thing... when youre alone it wastes time and you spend too much just stading reading bottles... and when the significant other is there, she just cant comprehend why one would ever need to look at an oil selection at more than one store, especially if the cars arent in need of a change!

...you wreck your car in an accident, and your biggest complaint is that now you won't be able to do your UOA.

You sold your J-Car to your inlaws (her side) nearly 3 years ago, and they ring to find out where the oil filter is located, as they are "in the middle of an oil change, and can't find the filter".

Better half can tell them where it is, from memory, having seen it changed many times.

I hope they didn't drain the transmission.

When you drive 500+ miles on vacation, and the highlight is checking out the local AZ and find some Green GC.

You go to the auto parts store and buy a quart of this or that oil, just to have a selection of brands in your stash...

I just bought some valvoline and GTX 10w30 tonight to do this.

A) You apply carnauba wax to your oil filters before install

B) When walking around an auto parts store you shudder in disgust when you see Joe Shmoe buy 5qts of Domestic Castrol Shamtec and a Fram filter knowing the guys thinks he is really taking care of his car. You wish you had ESP to beam him some info on PAOs and Esters.

1) You can use the acronyms 'UOA' and 'VOA' in public without any intention of being obscene;

2) Your total oil container count must be expressed in scientific notation;

3) You are aware that ZDDP is NOT an insecticide.
