Huh, neat. There was this Twitter chap who said this was going to happen a few months ago. It was a fun interaction[0]: > > > Just got word Mobil and Shell have informed Costco and Walmart they have no packaged product to send them and to expect bare shelves in the motor oil section in a few weeks > > Lol as if youd be the first person anyone tells. > I am Chevrons largest passenger vehicle lubricant purchaser lol | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Suddenly I don't feel so stupid anymore for having a supply of motor oil on my garage shelf that rivals Elaine hoarding contraceptive sponges in Seinfeld. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If you follow motor oil geek on YouTube, they've started changing the formulations of the premium oils months ago and that's not going to change until 2028 when more American supply comes online | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

IIRC there were also posts about this in the shortages subreddit around the same time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I saw this tweet[1] the day after. I go every week and saw shelves were full, but bought a years supply for our cars just in case... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
