With 3 cars, if you do oil change twice a year and assume that each car needs 5 quarts you need more than 7 years to use up your strategic reserve of 230 quarts.

My reserves are kinds stingy... but I have a whole....8 litres.
8 liters is not reserve, it's not enough for 1 oil change in a MB or BMW. You need to stock up whenever you find good price such as $2-3 or less a liter syn oil or $1 or less a liter dino.
We have free Peak oil + filter after rebate, I'm going to get some today. My reserve is more than 70 quarts and I have only 3 cars to take care of.
