Default i have enough M1 5W40 and GC to last a lifetime!!

Well, after much searching this weekend, i stumbled upon a total of 42 quarts of the M1 Truck/SUV oil. I also have 16 qts of the Green GC so i will need 2 more and i will have 3 oil changes worth of GC, not to mention the GC i have in the car now that is only at 2k miles. Damn, i got a lot of great oil that should last me at least 5 years!!

I just swapped to 5W40 M1. Hopefully it'll work better than the 5W30 I've been using.

Not really want to part with any, in fact I'm going today to look for some more-I got a tip there was some of the green stuff at another zone nearby.

I have about 25 qts of the German Castrol. I only put about 5k miles per year on my car and I change the oil once per year so I should be set for the next 4 years. I'm still looking for more as well.

I've still got 66 liters of GC left, although I am also running it in my wife's car and in my mom's car. I only change my wife's oil once a year though, and it only needs 4L. And I only change my mom's oil every two years, and that takes 5L. I do two oil changes a year in my car and use 7L each time. No top up oil is needed in either my car or my wife's, but my mom's 2001 VW Golf burns a little bit.

My supply should last me quite a while.
