Costco has raised the price of motor oil sold under its exclusive private-label brand as well as limited how much of it customers can buy weekly as oil prices climb yet again.
Americans looking to try to save some money by purchasing motor oil to do their own oil changes may consider this yet another blow to their wallets, as they are already contending with high grocery prices and inflation worries.
Costco’s Kirkland Signature full-synthetic motor oil 5-quart two pack now costs around $58, well above the approximately $30 it had been selling for just last year. Costco is also only allowing customers to purchase two boxes a week.
Never a better time to drive an EV requiring zero oil changes and minimal other maintenance (just tires and other normal wear items).
Have you seen the price of tires lately? I got a new set of 4 and I swear it’s more than double what I paid 5 years ago
I drive a model s, it has silly 21 inch wide as fuck tyres… a full set costs me £1000 fitted. I don’t think it is that unreasonable. I wanna say full set for my skoda on 18 inches wasn’t that much cheaper 5 years ago… it was over £600 for sure.
True but last I checked gas cars also use tires.
You can just about say that about anything these days lol
They learned from the pandemic, when the stores were emptied of paper products. It does Costco no good if they sell out of motor oil, the scalpers make the money and Costco is deserted.
That of course means that Costco strongly suspects prices will go up even further. Ouch.
But at least the hot dog and soda is only a $1.50. Something tells me this will be my main diet if this timeline continues.
The chicken is probably the better choice.
The age old question if the shitsandwich or tge turd dog is better
When I went to Costco, it was always when I had to renew my membership so I had a similar decision but it’s… do I want a $60 turd dog, or $60 slice of pepperoni oil spill.
Depends on if you’re ok with lukemia
You’re acting as if I have a choice in the matter
What you should spread awareness about is heart and kidney disease. Sodium is the devil in delicious disguise. I miss those $5 salt bombs.
Please consider donating this week’s $5 to your national heart charity. Oh and get off the tik-ee’s, it’s melting your mind.
