Costco is now rationing motor oil. Two 5-quart jugs per week, per membership.

Glad I stocked up for 3+ years on all of my vehicles at the start of this thread.

Have you considered just installing a tank battery and accepting tanker deliveries?

This is easier for the techs to carry

I don't understand it. Charging more and rationing people, Warren distribution must really be choking them down.

$21 per jug and it's delivered to my front door

Meanwhile, Amazon has come through for me.

Is that full synthetic oil like mobil 1 ?

Mostly the NA Ti-VCT V6 and 7.3L Godzilla. They have 4 turbo V6s. All of them seem happy with this so far. Factory fill from ford is a blend anyway.

Costco has lost their mind

I saw that this week and did a double take. Thought it was normally $35. Sometimes less than $30 on sale.

Yup. 4 packs were 54 dollars on sale. $13.50 a jug.

I bought Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-20, 5 Quart off Amazon resale for $15.99. Thought it was a decent price.

You haven't had a Tesla guy here yet to act smug? I'm sorry. We're falling down on our jobs.



p.s. I also have a Nissan Titan Diesel, so I feel your pain. [/Clinton.gif]

I was told today that someone with an F150 Raptor went to McRee Ford and couldn't get their oil changed because they didn't have to oil.

Indeed there is a shortage of Group III base oils and in particular PAO that's needed for ATFs - hence why shortage worse here than motor oil - however biggest impacts are at 0W-20; supply is still tight and pricing will rise until GTL comes back online, likely 2H 2027. Not to mention Europe and Asia also pulling on global supply and therefore creating frenzy. By now most oil companies have reformulated products using Group III+ and a bit more additives, however, additives require PAO at times, hence difficulty in overall supply. OEMs will likely need to relax specs if this GIII constraint continues or allow substitutes like 5W-20 for use in 0W-20 for short term use. And don't forget a Euro 0W-20 is not same as Dexos 0W-20 due to different specifications required…

What could you substitute for 0W20 in a3.6 liter 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK?

If you live in Texas - consider using 5W-20 in lieu of 0W-20

0W and 5W (W stands for Winter) are really close and only matters when temperatures drop below 0 defeees Fahrenheit

If live in Canada, will matter in Winter to try and find 0W-
