I was called an Oil Nerd today....

[daves87rs]

Because of this site I can't walk into a WM or meijer's without taking a peek at the oil section for deals....or a place that has tires that I check out...


Ah! It's spreading into tires and creeping into auto parts!


I'd be willing to bet the guys in the tires/wheels section probably thought I've lost my mind...

What?There's no twelve step program?

 

[JT1]

There are worse things to be addicted too.

Im no nerd!!!!































well maybe a little....

 

[Nickdfresh]

Yesterday, I was called an "oil fanatic." LOL

 

[Zedhed]

If you have a stash of more than 20 gal. you are an oil fanatic. Less than 20 but more than 10 equals oil nerd. Less than 10 gal. you are an oil neophyte.

I wish I was more concerned about what I put in my body, as I sit here and drink a coke and puff on this Winston. But I'm not, I do care about is keeping my vehicles in top condition inside and out! Oil Nerd for sure!

...less than 1 gal but it's SSO, Redline, LubroMoly or M1 EP, you are an oil SNOB.

Like me.

I'd rather be called an oil nerd than be one of the ignorant people who says, "Oil is oil, what's the difference?" Motor oil does look simple, but it's an incredibly complex subject. Yes, I walk by the oil section at Walmart to see if there are any "new releases," just like browsing DVDs at the video store.

I always look to see if my favorite "flavor" is on sale. 2 months ago, I scored 20 gals of RTS T6 for $11 per gal at local WM. That is in addition to the other stash I had at the time.

I think I need some help with my addiction......

+1 on the new release angle,and people who ask 'whats the difference?'get sludge dropped on em'

I almost feel like a collector. I must have every cool and good oil out there in my stash and must run then all at least once. I have OCD though, and it's what I'm obsessing about currently. lol

I have been an Oil Nerd for 40 years since I was a litle kid with Honda SL70 motorcycle in 1971 when I was 14.
In the 23 motorcycles I owned I would change the Oil every 1k miles....sometimes less.
I cant help myself....at wal-mart I go to the oil section or the ammo.
Im an Oil Nerd.


Ha. You should hear my wife. And I've risen to being an Admin at this site... Talk about a lack of patience!

 

[Trvlr500]

I post here very little and am not anywhere as near as educated on the subject as many of you but I still go to this forum at least 5 times a week just to see what's new.

How I got this sickness is anyone's guess. This is pathetic. There has got to be something wrong with ALL of us but I guess as you you get older porn gets boring. LOL!
