Walmart oil prices - Ah!

[Legs4Arms]

I bought this same 3-pack delivered to my door for $99.00 and free delivery last year, same with Mobil 1's 0W-40 FS. It was as high as $199.00 in recent months but has dropped to what you see here. I suspect stockpiling is the main reason behind it.

At the WM near me, the AFE 0w20 went from $25 to $32, but the AC stayed at $26.

That’s what I found online …

My local walmart jacked up the price for a single jug but the 3 pack is still 29.97.

The oil price increase was long overdue, I was always puzzled how it stayed at the same price for past 10 years

Prices remained low for quite some time and are now going up, but the other piece of the puzzle are shortages due to the Pearl GTL plant being offline. Right now, it's the higher prices we have to deal with. Before long, I believe it's going to be shortages on the shelves of some products, also.

I ordered another 5W-30 jug for $29.97 last night for delivery Wed from Amazon. It shipped before the price went up to $35.97 overnight. I'm covered for 2 cars with VRP until 2028. Merc uses ESP and I'm good there too.

The hoarding just has never worked for me. Prices go up and go down, I just buy what I need as I need it. I know I beat a dead horse here but FCP Euro, which could end for me tomorrow for all I know, has made it a non-factor. Even then we're talking the price of fast food

Price jumping is largely from Iran war and Ukraine hitting the Russian fleets and processing. Oil on the shelf today is reflective of contract pricing 3-6 months ago.

Seeing this increase yesterday, I grabbed 2 more Mobil Euro 0w-40 off Amazon while it was $25.
I wonder why the Castrol GTX and Edge products are still sub $24 when all others increased 4-6$ ??

Perhaps they figure they will make up for the price difference with the quantity of increased sales from people choosing them over Mobil 1.

Or, it will jump too, just give it time.
