Dunno if this has been asked before; please delete thread if so. I did a few quickie searches.
I know we have hoarders, and I know we have the buy as you go.
All 5 qt jugs Synthetic:
  • 2 Valvoline HM 5w30
  • 7 M1 0w20 Advanced Economy (6 from recent low price on Amazon or Wally World)
  • 1 M1 HM 5w30
  • 1 M1 HM 10w30
So 11 total. I usually have some QS or whatever is on sale. I used to use a like of Kirkland, but prices went up.
I regularly service 3 TSXs and a 98 Accord, so I use a lotta 5w30.

I would guess I am about BITOG middle of the pack.
 
Currently have 12 gallons (2 6 gallon boxes) of Mystik JT-8 15w40 for my Cummins, 18 quarts of Citgo 5w30 FS HM and 2 gallons of Farm and Fleet 5w40 for my OPE. I also keep filters on hand for at least 2 changes.

Just my $0.02
 
12qts amsoil ss 5w30
5qt Rotella gas truck 5w30
5qt Kirkland 5w30
1qt Napa syn 5w30
1qt STP conventional 10w30 (lawn mower)

24qts, both my cars take 7 so it’s not much really.
 
I have 2-5qt jugs M1 5W-30 EP plus 3 quarts of M1 ESP 0W-30 and 1 quart of HPL EC.
 
10 quarts - High Performance Lubricants HDMO 5W-20
8 quarts - High Performance Lubricants HDMO 10W-30
6 quarts - High Performance Lubricants Bad Ass Racing 0W-12
6 quarts - High Performance Lubricants Bad Ass Racing 5W-30
6 quarts - High Performance Lubricants PCMO 10W-20
6 quarts - Driven XP3 10W-30
4 quarts - High Performance Lubricants Pro Stock 0W-8

That's it for the engine oils. I usually keep one change ahead.
