i just read a post from tallpaul and he counted something like 194, that makes for a fine weekend afternoon. i myself am only sitting on around 54 quarts or so but i know how stuff can accumulate when your a fanatic. im a huge gun nut with over 60 pieces and maybee 12,000 rounds of ammo. just wondering if there are any bigger lubricant fanatics than tallpaul?

I'm going in the opposite direction. I always had a huge stash of oil, mainly because when GC first came out in Canada I was worried it was going to disappear quickly so I just kept buying it every chance I got.
But now that I'm no longer using GC, I prefer to just buy my oil a few weeks before an oil change (on sale of course), just in case I change my mind and decide to run a different oil, or in case they make a change to the formula and I'd much prefer to get the latest stuff.
I only maintain two cars, and there aren't too many sales around here, so I just buy for one oil change at a time, and research in between that time.
About 200 quarts of closeout oil , but I maintain 7 family member's cars.
I stock up on gear oil from redline since I can only get it through the mail, but for motor oil I only keep enough around for one oil change on each vehicle.

After the wall marts around here ran out of Synthetic rotella for like 3 months I all ways try to have at least 3-4 gallons on hand.
I have a little bit of Mobil 1 left form my super hord I built up in 1999. I still have about 2 gallons of SJ,SH rated mobil 1 5w-30 weight and about 1 gallon of SJ rated 15w-50 weight M1 left.
1999 was when you could get 5 cases of mobil 1 when it was on sale for $100 and have change left over to fill up your car with gas.
I have about 2 gallons of Mobil 1 synthetic AFT that I won't use because my transmissions leak.
I stalked up on advance auto brand AFT, got a few gallons.
Advance auto parts brand AFT should be repackaged valvoline.
I still have 3 gallons of SM rated mobil 1 I'm trying to cut in with my good oil and about 3 Qt's of MX4T.
A modest stash of about 60Qt's (just motor oil, not counting ATF) mostly in gallon jugs.
My next oil haul, I will be buying gallon jugs of 5w-40 weight Synthetic Shell Rotella T.
And maybe some MX4T.
I buy every thing possible in gallon or 5Qt jugs, cause when there empty they make great diesel fuel jugs.
The oil is cheaper in the big jugs, plus when its done I get a free fuel jug. win/win for me.
Plus I have a nice diesel fuel and gasoline stash.

Wow...you guys are really serious!
I had about 24 quarts of the old red cap 15w-50 that Iused in my Harleys a few yaers ago. Now I just have about 12 quarts of the new stuff. I don't know what I'm going to do when it;s gone, I bought it all on sale. I think we all need to see a shrink.

Mobil 1 20w-50 weight "V-Twin" motor cycle oil has more Zn and P then the old Red top SJ/CF rated 15w-50 weight oil.
That stuff should do the job.
