Some folks around here have 7 vehicles so no telling.

The wife and I have 4 vehicles registered & insured at all times.

Then I service around a dozen now for my non-profit between its vehicles and core volunteers.

That doesn't include my small handful of "paying customers".

Assume 20 then. Oil in the grant scheme of vehicle ownership costs are minuscule compared to other things like purchase price, fuel, insurance, etc.

I don’t remember who said it or I would cite them but oil hoarders need to get some perspective.

One guy on here had like several hundred quarts. A little nuts IMHO because by the time you are a little ways into it a better oil comes along (like HPL) and now what do you with the rest of the "junk" on your shelf?

Assuming M1 AP average is $30 you saved $15 x 23 = $345. Also assuming 5-6 oil changes a year it would take 3.8 -4.6 years to recognize that $345 savings. Now even if you used it all up in one year that is still only $345. I mean listen you hand me $345 yeah I’ll take it. But a couple hundred dollars is not a financial windfall.

Actually I don’t need your financial advice -
As for the M1 AP - most of it was the 70% PAO that started at $49

5-6 oil changes per year!!?

Between my vehicles and what I give away - that’s a bit short …
