Why do people do this, is my question? I get it with ammunition, etc. but in what catastrophic situation will you be able to buy enough gasoline/diesel to need an oil change, where you also cannot find the oil at WalMart to perform said oil change?
In my case my company got bought out and had a couple leftover 55 gallon drums of delo xle 10w-30. This oil was either going to be forgotten about or thrown away.....so obviously I couldn't let that happen so they ended up at my house. I will say the oil in the drums would fair better in a fire than some plastic bottles would. I won't have to buy oil for a extremely long time lol
I would run that 10w30 every summer up here... that's a real score!
