I'll always check their inventory through the website. It's always been pretty accurate and it will even tell you "low stock" and in that case, I look for something else or skip going. Luckily, I've never had an oil change emergency.
Not to me. O'Reilly (I can walk there) is $42 for Castrol Edge 5W-30 and WM is still $32. In my experience, WM is almost always $10 cheaper across the board for 5-quart bottles of name-brand oil.
In my area. But AZ has a $15 rebate right now.I'll always check their inventory through the website. It's always been pretty accurate and it will even tell you "low stock" and in that case, I look for something else or skip going. Luckily, I've never had an oil change emergency.

Everything is fine and nothing to worry about at all. All the drama and speculation over the last few months has been unfounded. A couple of dollars increase for a few quarts of oil is hardly news worthy.
It’s a little more than a few dollars. We’ve had a slew of formula changes with many oils loosing Dexos approval. Many of these oils had only two things going for them, cost and Dexos.
Except the world runs on oil. Everything you buy is delivered on a vehicle that uses oil. Costs are up across the board. Who ultimately pays for this? I'll give you 1 guess...
It's been like this for over 100 years so your validation is irrelevant. These small spikes we see are very short lived and nothing to panic over.
It's been talked about a lot in this forum on why motor oil prices are going up, and it's not really connected to the price of a barrel of oil. If things go more sideways and more facilities get destroyed in the middle east that produce base oils, then things could get even worse for oil jugs on the shelf.
What scares me more is these companies may never go back to the original formulas. Keep prices high while using whatever base oils……people are still loving Supertech without Dexos and at $28 a jug.A lot of people here still seem to think the price of motor oil will come down but they are going to be in for a rude awakening. It’s very unlikely that motor oil will ever cost what it did before the Iran war
They always say that to calm us down. Even when the inflation is 20% or more—they say "there's no big inflation".
But with AAZ and AZ you can get the bundle and get a nice PGI made filter with it for that price. AAZ is like $17 for the Carquest EP and I think $10 for the Carquest Premium so basically a wash unless you have a big filter stash also.I'll always check their inventory through the website.

The US produces almost 20% so we are not in a shortage. Nor would anything happening in the Middle East have a significant effect on supply and pricing.
So why do you think prices of motor oils are up so much over a few months period?
