Bought a years worth of oil changes… Costco synthetic and purolator filters. Costco oil was on sale and the filters were inexpensive by the 12pk. That's $17 plus tax per oil change. May be less than a year as I've driven the new officemobile 9K miles in 26 days.


You missed the sale last month. It was 13/jug.

That's what I ordered. $52/case.

Took this at Wal-Mart today.

Oil seemed stocked but filters were low.

Sadly normal at Walmart depending on the merchandising manager of the auto department.

This one is usually pretty good. I don't know what happened.

I used to sell and deliver automotive fluids for 6 years.

Based on my experience, I highly doubt we will see a significant drop in the supply of products.

I was at Sam's Club a few days ago. Just passed by the oil section and thought sure doesn't seem like an oil shortage.
