No longer can find Mobil 1 Costco online, just Mobil full synthetic.
Wonder if Kirkland synthetic poached too much sales at price point M1 couldn’t compete?
 
I quit Costco bcs of them sticking gas pumps at the front corner and blocking both general and their own traffic. Total mess they could have avoided …
Not me, I use Costco strictly for the 2 premium cars, top tier and cheapest.

But in the setup where I go, it's full service only (New Jersey), and there are tons of cheaters when it's crowded. They bypass the line and to your point, Costco does nothing. Not only that, some members pump their own gas and drive away--that's imho bad and against the law. And they turn a blind eye.

Perhaps switching to another national brand name oil producer. They've been known to do that in years past with Formula Shell absent.

Someday Chevron may be gone, in-favor of someone else's conventional oil. Welcome to the Costco Merry-Go-Round.

I just bought Mobil ⛽️ for $2.59 - so fuel prices are not why I used to shop at Costco …
 
Its no longer online, but its still available in my store. Maybe it will be removed also. Costco pricing on M1 is never good, even when they have rebates.
I found it handy to have six packs compliment the Walmart jugs - but not the end of anything big …
 
Costco here seems to get oil, sell out then restock. They will have mobil1 and their brand only. Then the mobil1 sells out and the shelf is empty a couple of weeks before they restock again.

I wish they carried other brands.
