You don't have a stash.
You have access to a stash that you get to pay full price for when you need to use it.
Those with a stash tend to buy on sale/clearance/rebate, and many service multiple vehicles (not just 2) several times a year.
With your 2 vehicles, you use what, 22 qts a year?
With the 5 in my sig plus 3 other family members, I use at least 45 qts a year.
Sounds like the OP uses much more than that.
Plus when you do stupid stuff like add 6 qts of oil to the engine and then realize you forgot to put the drain plug back in you have oil on the shelf to "fix" your screw-up.
Not that I have ever done that.
Well I do a more than the 2 in my signature and I use more than ~22 quarts. Using rebates and having what I need on hand works for me and I bet I save just as much in the end. I'm not knocking the stash, I'm just blown away at the massive amount of oil. The stash at Wal-Mart was nothing more than a light hearted attempt at humor. I wouldn't have room to actually judge the oil hoarding as I'm a tool hoarder.
