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.

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.

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

If that electric Amazon delivery van gets in the wreck on the way to 1ags, it's going to close the road for an extended period of time to clean up the oil spill. It would be the Rivian version of the Exxon Valdez.

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.
