Drivers could see higher prices during their next oil change as supply disruptions push up the cost of synthetic motor oil. According to LEX18, a Cincinnati service manager reports synthetic oil costs have increased 20% to 30% since June, while some retailers, including Costco, have placed purchase limits on motor oil. The shortage is particularly affecting low-viscosity oils such as 0W-8 and 0W-16, commonly required by newer hybrids and fuel-efficient vehicles. Industry experts say drivers approaching an oil change may want to plan ahead and make sure the oil specified for their vehicle is available.
