I have about 125 qts of GC laying around. How do you guys store your oil? Is there a container say at Wallyworld I can buy to put them in? I am looking for portability. Thanks

125 Qts! Heck you could mask a wall with all those bottles! Get'n ready for an elf's party are we, wanting to make him/her/they feel right at home?!?! What are you planing on serving the guests???
I understand. [/QB]
no, no, I just don't want to store the oil in the garage. I was thinking of storing it inside the house, maybe in a closet, if I can find the right type of containers. I was considering the plastic containers they sell at walmart or target, but maybe discarded oil boxes would be easiest.quote:

Sorry, joke on the wife thing, but you are wise to get it out of the garage. Letting the oil sit in the garage in summer heat or winter cold is not good for shelf life. Properly stored, I am told, most oil has an indefinite shelf life. I keep mine on shelves in the cellar where it ranges from 40 to 70 F. Nice thing about the cellar is wife doesn't use it, so I have the oil on full display.quote:

Every once and a while he brings out a quart of vintage 1984 Vavoline "Special Reserve" 10w-40quote:
