Currently these are the cheapest oils. But anything you buy now will be cheaper than after a few more months.

What makes you so sure about that? It’s doubtful that the price of oil will come back down.
I'm guessing / speculating. I'm sure the oil will never go back down. However, I'm almost sure that its price will go up again in near future. Especially, if there is more demand than supply.

And currently the supply is below normal. The Shell GTL facility in Qatar is expected to start functioning again next year, according yo Shell. I think that might be the reason why the Pennzoil price went up higher than the other brands.

Can you, please, show me a product which price went up and then came down in recent years?

I look for the prices of lubricating oil's to be even higher for at least a year or two and perhaps more scarce in supply, , as also many products will JUST meet the specs/licenses , no over kill on the formulas (pun), and some overall per say cost cutting of the products quality to meet profit margins for the executives, look for some smaller oil providers/blenders to fold too.

I was trying to say the opposite anything you buy now it will be cheaper compared with the same product in near future. Not that it will be cheaper in the future.
I edited my post.

Today Amazon , Walmart on-line and Walmart in the store all showing the same price for VRP 5W30 at $35.97 per 5 qrt. jug . I bought two jugs today to hit my intended 5 clraning OCI’s of VRP 5W30. Once complete, I’m going to consider going back to M1 0W30 ESP or M1 5W30 EP so I can incrementally extend my OCI’s via testing to ensure that going from 4K - 5K miles to 7,500 miles is safe to do (90% interstate / highway driving - Hyundai / Kia non - turbo GDI and PFI engines). With oil prices rising and majority of driving now interstate / highway driving, I don’t want to waste money and foolishly dump oil before it’s spent if cleaning properties are still intact in the oil being used.

The VRP should be fine for the 7500 miles also. I think Valvoline’s wording was at least 4 oil change intervals, whatever your “normal” or MM interval is. Hyundai/Kia I believe is 7500 miles with a severe service of 3750 miles. Some Hyundai/Kia models may have 5k as severe and 10k normal as others had listed. Probably based on which have the MPI. Knowing their history, I personally am sticking closer to the severe service schedule, doesn’t matter which oil. Tucson is currently on 4k/6 months, Sonata 5k/6 months, older Forte 5k not sure on time yet since 8 hours away and a lot of local use (my son is .6 mile from his main work site).

If things are not available then maybe need options but Restore and Protect 5W-30 or ESP 0W-30 would be my choice and test up to your comfort level.

I also don't know if any testing will show what is there to start or left of cleaning properties vs the additives. We don't know what the VRP cleaning chemical is.
