How to you store the random oil jugs?

I use Rotella 5w-40 synthetic in the diesel tractor, the gas JD lawn tractor, the gas DR field/brush mower, the gas walk behind Craftsman snow blower, the gas DR lawn/leaf collection system and the walk behind gas Craftsman lawn vacuum. The two strokes all get one 2 cycle oil, from my newer 50:1 engines to my OLD 16:1 saws that thrive on it. Two oils cover everything

What about your vehicles? ATVs? UTVs?

First world problems , LOL Buy an older tractor that burns oil and you will soon find you never have enough to top it off . If its really an issue just dump it in the diesel tank and burn it,

:laughing: Mine doesn't burn that much, but it leaks like a sieve! Hoping to split it this summer to take care of that, but haven't seen any 'rount-tuits at my house. Busy!

I also use it in my Polaris General, Honda 4 wheelers, generator, and wood splitter. Like I mentioned, it goes in everything 4 cycle.
The only two stroke oil I use is Stihl.

I built an outside steel storage locker built on top of a concrete pedestal a couple of feet off the ground, so snow isn't an issue. I keep, gas oil, propane cylinders and various other stuff in there. This stuff was just taking up too much room, plus we have no insurance. So good to get that stuff outside.

I forgot the Polaris Ranger 800 and the 2 Honda generators(1000w suitcase and a 6800w cradle mounted). Everything gets Rotella 5/40 except the two strokes get "pro-mix" 2 cycle oil (all my engines, 50:1, 40:1, 32:1 and 16:1) mixed at 50:1, available at most saw shops and Lowe's. The Tundra gets dealer service, as I'm too d*** old to crawl under it and do it myself

I’m too nervous to try anything except the factory oil in Ranger 900XP. And my Ranger manual says to change the front and rear diff fluids every 100 hours, so that’s another two different oils. So my Ranger takes 3 different oils.

You're right about the Polaris drive oils, but I don't change those very often, so not a big deal with partial quarts of that stuff hanging around.

My manual says front and rear diffs every 100 hours. That’s every oil change for my Ranger 900XP. I’m still not convinced on the toughness of Polaris machines like I am with Honda, Yamaha, etc. I stick to the service intervals in the manual and use Amsoil products in my Ranger.

I've changed the drive oils once in just over 260hrs. I changed them at 50hrs and the fluid looked clean, no metallic sparkles, and I have just over 260hrs on it now; everything working(rear locker and front drive) as they should. Maybe I'll change them out this spring, if it ever arrives.
