I’m due for an oil change next month, so I guess I can look forward to a higher price for that service.
Second Automaker Sounds Alarm Over Dwindling Motor Oil Stock [UPDATE]
Oil shortage ? Gee, I wonder if we could just blame one person for that?
Better head off to Wally World and lay in a stock of 50 gallons or more of your favorite grade of synthetic oil. Are the oil shelves going to look like the toilet paper shelves at the grocery store before the big storm?
It’s a conspiracy to get everyone on board with the extended OCI of 10k miles!
I seem to have trouble finding 0W-16 anyway…
I’d use 0w20. Wife’s Crown oil recommendation is 0W8. I will NOT use that .
People tend to overreact. His vehicle’s maintenance calls for 1.25 gallons/year, 50 gallons would be a 40-year supply.
Car dealers charge $12/quart for synthetic motor oil, next month it could be $13.
I’m fairly well stocked with at least enough for several oil changes on the shelf. I just keep a normal inventory but I could buy another jug or so. I just remember back in 1958 my dad forgetting to put the drain plug back so I always have extra oil in case if my own senior moment.
I exaggerated for effect. I doubt that there’s 20 gallons of any specific grade on the shelves.
