I found deals on brand name synthetic for under $2 a quart. I have over 5 years' worth.
I can't justify using regular oil anymore.

How many years of oil do you keep?

I am not sure how many years worth of oil I have. Maybe 3-4 years if I had to guess.
I do know I have 40 gallons.
I have quit buying oil, but will still get it if it is free after rebate.
I recently sold about 10 gallons of oil for over $100, making about $70 profit.
My current stash has an average cost of $0.28/qt (16 qts of syn blend, 36 qts is synthetic).

I got about 3 years worth of oil.
3 Honda's.. OCI every 6-9 months
= 3 years or so...

I can't pass up a bargain. I might have oil I'll never use. Or I could get another car....
Have enough for registered vehicles OCI in June, Two gallons of Delo 15 40 thats 3 years old for the C model Farmall and 28 Chevy doodle bug.
The recent Autozone closeouts really did on number on my shelf space. Lets just way I'm good for a while.
Zippo. With generally good availability and online shipping & tracking, no need to hoard anymore. Unless a refinery blows up, but most would be S.O.L. anyway.

Right now I've got a half-quart of Schaeffer 9000 5w20 and a half-quart of Royal Purple's HMX 5w30.
I only purchase oil when it's time or if there's a special need for it.

I keep about 1-2 as well normally. I had more but decided this is plenty.
2-3 years in reality. I drive very little; already worked from home so a stash of 2-3 filters and a couple 5 quart jugs will see me through my yearly oil changes for a couple of years. Typically I buy filters 5-6 at a time if something is on sale at rock auto. Sometimes this leaves me with a stash of them I can't use but my last 2 vehicles have used the same filter even though they were 19 years apart in mfg so I got lucky. Wiper blades not so much
Here in So Cal we go through wiper blades because they dry rot from lack of use.
I have plenty of oil to outlast this shutdown.
I have about 12 years worth of HDEO for the Subarus, and about 2 years worth for the Ford. Because if anything goes down, everyone knows you want to sneak out, and:
