Meh, don't think it matters much. Some people have been here a long time and post things that make me roll my eyes, some people are new and post quality content.
Whenever you decide. Don't let other people tell you when and what you are.

You guys crack me up
Here it is 70 degrees sun shinning up in the frozen North and i am reading this goofy post of mine instead of putting an axle joint in the wife's jeep
20. When you do anything to combat any thick residue you are comfortable calling "sludge"....applies to "coffee milkshake" under the oil fill cap too.
20a. When you use "premium" or specified products to combat sludge in a "known sludge engine" before it forms.
21. When you thoughtfully consider bypass pressure when selecting an oil filter.

When you tell people to stick with the owner's manual for oil type and duration...
And then use a 50 in everything you own.

14. Cutting an oil filter or sending one to car51 to be cut
15. Applying for mail in rebates, and posting about how fast you get them, if you get them.
16. Realizing that most mainstream automotive advice is either wrong or generalized.
Well, almost there...

From what I understand is that the people with a 100+ qt stash got it for less than $1/Qt or free after MIR. I have seen many people express that their stash has gotten too large, or they were required to buy a large volume because of AZ clearancing 40 Qts of GC 0W-30, M1 5W50 or some other exotic oil known only to BITOGers.
I think chasing MIRs is the true sign of hardcore stash building BITOGer. They are truly breaking all the rules of how a normal person buys motor oil.
