It once numbered 40 jugs...

Pretty current pic, only things not shown are the 15 qts of Peak 15w-40 and another gallon of Maxlife ATF that I bought last week.
Oil:


ATF and coolant:

I think I have just over 25 gallons of oil.
For some reason, 25 gallons sounds like a lot more than 100 qts.

My filters are stored in a box inside, have a bunch of those too.

I have 4 changes coming up though, so that will be almost 20 qts used up.
All 4 changes (with synthetic oil) will cost me less than $25 total, including filters. That is why I hoard.

I quit hoarding for a while (well, quit buying), but then when I had to pay full retail for oil, it hurt.
I was upset paying $10 for a gallon of Supertech 15w-40 the other day.

I got in on the Peak 15w-40 deal for $5/gallon, so I am good now.
I even held back and did not buy all the store had (I got 3, they had 4) and I did not even look at the Quaker State that was on clearance.
 
25 quarts left of full syn valvoline. Nothing else.

Will only buy if another deal comes along

Go on Advance Auto's website and see if they have any QSUD in stock. Jugs are $8.45/quarts are $2.15 or so. Then combine with $7/5qt rebate. So $1.45 per jug after rebate. Limit 3 rebates per household.
 
I have close to 50 gallons. I bought 40 gallons of the shell rotella t5 10w30 from autozone when it was on sale and i bought 6 jugs of quaker state ultimate full syn on sale from advance auto. I also have a few jugs of delvac 1300 and 4 jugs of valvoline dexmerc. Its hard to not buy oil when you can get it so cheap with rebates.

If it makes you feel any better, 25 gallons was like a half a quart low in the engines I used to work on.

I don't keep an oil stash, unless you count a few half used qts of Valvoline 5w30 or the local WM as my "stash."

I guess, I'll be SOL when it come to oil during the zombie style apocalypse. I suppose I'll have to survive on my food stash, water stash, and bullet stash instead ... I feel so unprepared.

Yup. I have my stuff I waste money on, she has hers.

Mine stays in the garage (it used to be stashed under the workbench), hers goes wherever she wants it to go.
She actually saw me posting earlier and said sarcastically "getting more oil?" and walked away shaking her head.
I told her no, just looking at oil porn...

So what was it? I know some of these big diesels measure oil by the drum.
 
I have somewhere between 200 and 300 quarts of oil....half of it is boutique oils that I got for 0-5$ a quart when they normally cost 8-10, then a quarter of it is some really good finds on mobil 1 TDT 5w40 and other decent oils and then I have 15 jugs of PUP that I regret buying since I paid nearly full price for them (about 20$ a jug).
 
I'm sure the amount of oil I have would be classified as a fire hazard so no one knows. But my classified stash is full no more oil buys until next year for sure.
 
150 US Quarts of mostly SL/CF/CI4 engine oil, with about 32 of that being full syn. (SN/CF). Probably have another 15Q of TCW-3 and 3Q of Zinc oil additives. All up works out $773 AU$ and saved about $400-$500 on the ticket price; and about $800 on the dealer price as well so about ~$1200+ saved.

I have enough.... for a while

The above logic helps the Trouble and Strife (wife) with my oil obsession....
 
These comments about wives being understanding (or not) has me thinking...

Why are you storing your oil hoard in the kitchen?
 
This is all I stock, fram ultra's. Mail in rebates are pain and I never get them.
When I see good volume purchase on frams I jump on it, this will take me to just under 100k on truck.

I see little point in stockpiling oil if I don't rebate you know.

You're clearly not married.

Yep and I have some cool wall art as well. This is called "Manifold Gasket" by Camry.

My stash:
2 jugs Mobil1 0W-40
1 jug Castrol 0W-40
5 gallon pail (minus 1 OC) Schaeffer's 9000 0W-20
1 jug Valvoline MaxLife Dex/Merc LV
4 qts. Mazda whateveritis (ZF, I think) trannie fluid
1 qt. Wolf's Head Super Universal Synthetic Transmission Fluid
1 jug Texaco 5W-30 conv. (for friends who drop by)
Filters:
2 for the Saabs
2 for my Volvo
4 for sis' Mazda
1 for bro's Handa

When I don't buy, it diminishes fairly fast.

As Playboy went pictureless a while back, consider this pictureless oil porn.
