>>535119502You have to have an IQ of at least 80 to post here nigger
Any anons work for other auto parts stores and have some intel?
>>535119436If that is real the person who wrote it should be fired. Awful. Most likely fake and gay, even though oil product shortages are real
>>535119436I love to skateboard at the autozone parking lot with my friends. Be well, autozone.
US and Canada will be fine. They will pay more but there will not be any shortages.
>>535119502Silly goyim you don't produce anything. The oil companies do and they decided you don't get shit.
>>535119711Sir, there is a mouse in your backpack.She is asking for cheese.
>>535119502>America literally produces its own oilTrue, however, the type of oil used for motor oil and lubricants is the much thicker oil from the Middle East.
>>535120175Retarded take
>>535119502>America literally produces its own oilamerica doesn't produce anything, american companies do, and until the government says they have to save some for the american people they will export it to the highest bidder
>>535119502It disgusts me that your vote has the same value as mine.
People will discover that 5K mile oil changes are bullshit.
Trump is such a fucking retard
>>535120487>memeflagIt doesnt saar h1bs are not allowed to vote silly fucking jeet

>>535120661And that still makes my vote more valuable than yours. Let that sink in.
Someday soon 4-wheeled rolling cages will seem barbaric like riding a horse.

Chud-zone. Total automobile death and extinction.

I only use synthetic, so I guess I’m good?
>>535119436The author clearly is a woke SJW who has TDS and wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon
>>535120876It's just a size and mass comparison. I saved 500 dollars today (out of a mechanic's pocket) having grok walk me through cleaning and rebuilding a carburetor.

Just free yourself from the motor vehicle Jew. Ride a bike, walk.

Venezuela has that oil.
>>535119502Miggers are so bafflingly retarded they didn’t see this coming. Why do sub 120-IQ “people” get to vote?
>>535121265Iran should have a nuke, my gas would be cheaper if they did.
>>535121167Are miggers actually so dumb that they think synthetic oil is magicked out of thin air in some lab and not a highly processed petroleum product?
>>535119465So an AI agent is going to suggest substitutes? What a great way for Autozone to dodge responsibility when shit goes wrong.
>>535119436>I won't mince wordsEvery American leader ever
>>535120360Oil used in cars is synthetic. lol. It's not from the ground.
>>535119436THE SYNTHETIC OIL USED IN CARS IS MADE FROM NATURAL GAS.How many retards fell for this nonsense?
>>535119436fucking Trump
>>535119502US oil companies don't work for America, they work for the highest bidders.Think Argentina exporting all their beef so they have to eat donkeys now
>>535123012>>535123067Stfu they're in the middle of trying to freak everyone out so they buy all the toilet paper at a premium.
>>535119436I remember the first insider leak of the oil shortages back in mid april. God bless you anon, and all anons out there; despite our differences no one deserves the torrent of suffering coming for us
>>535120876Significantly less oil you fucking retard. I have enough 2 stroke oil to last several lifetimes. You would would too if you actually owned anything worth a fuck.
>>535120360>only the middle east produces synthetic oilI bet you don't even own a car lol
>>535120360>however, the type of oil used for motor oil and lubricants is the much thicker oil from the Middle East.Dude did they drag you out of an old folk's home to write that?
>>535119502Fell for it award
>>535122919I thought it was made from plants in the soil.
wow so that's how fucked Autozone really is. I knew things were bad during Covid when they stopped getting Prius batteries, then H8/H9s, then AGMs. Then they changed all Autozone battery warranties from 5 years to 3. I remember when that happened. Me, the ASM, CSM and SM were all standing around being yelled at by like 5 different mechanics when we all just decided to ignore it when we opened the public doors. Less than a week later, SM gets fired by RSM. Guy had poured his heart and soul into his job and nuked his own performance bonus just to have the RSM fire him for doing customers right.Now, NOW Autozone can't even get a reliable supply of non-shit oil. I don't know how it works for people outside of California, but I'll tell you all this: You cannot use budget oil in a Prius or any Hybrid that is now standard within CA. I've had to deal with the fallout from angry karens throwing $8k+ bills at us because the nigger of the week gave her the black 10W-40 for her Escape, Camry, Malibu etc when it needs 0W-16 or 0W-20. I can only imagine the amount of people who will be buying crap shit (pic related) over the next few months, fucking up their cars, and then throwing a fit to PSMs who should just quit on the spot.1/3rd of store revenue is batteries and it's still fucked. Another 1/3rd is from oil and the company now thinks it's gonna be equally fucked. The remaining 1/3rd is cell phone accessories, like Radio Shack. Remember how RS transitioned into cellphones and promptly died? Thinking about that real hard now reading this.
>>535122919>and not a highly processed petroleum product?Polyalphaolefin starts as an Ethylene.
>>535119436>>535119465>>535119500I'm sure that's totally accurate and real.
>>535123296Pretty sure it still comes from LNG and petroleum, but literally any petroleum works.
>>535119502Thats capitalism for you, dumb ass. And freedom and shit. Them oil baron can choose whether to sell you the oil, or not. And at what price, they dictate that too. Don't like it? Don't buy it. Make your own oil rigs. Free market baby. Caring for the america peoples? Thats commies shit boy
>>535123067It doesn't matter if it's made from NatGas. What matters is where it's refined. America doesn't have much refining capacity, a lot of our lubricant oils come from Canada and Mexico because they need the heavier, winterized stuff for their colder winters. Canada especially so which is why Ford's main engine plant is in Windsor. Which is why all diesel motor prices went up 20% when Trump imposed his 20% Canadian car parts tarriff.More importantly, it's a Market. If 15% of the global oil market goes offline, then it is harder for refineries to actually buy good enough crude oil to turn into sellable product. Venezuela's oil is not good enough, it's thick shit like bricks that is more expensive than making oil from trash/recycled oil. But even then, there's only a few places in the US equipped to recycle oil into new oil and they cannot fill the gap. We do not have enough production without Mexico.This kills the internal combustion engine. Electric and Hydrogen cars don't have this problem so guess what people are buying. There's a reason why every white family has a Tesla (or some other EV) now.
>>535123424I still have my official Autozone Covid Essential Employee Notice. This is real. But OP is still a pussy for not getting the RSM's follow up letter because those are always delusional. DSMs I know just use AI now and the RSM doesn't even notice, he actually enjoys it because it makes him feel like the business isn't melting apart from electric cars. Even though the highest markup items in Autozone are all Aisle 1 / Electrical parts, which are also the #1 loss / theft item by a very wide margin.
>>53511943640? FOURTY PERCENT?
>>535123506>America doesn't have much refining capacityhttps://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/5-countries-with-the-largest-refining-capacity-1112959/5/It's literally got the largest capacity.
>>535123169Gas is $7 now in most big cities, and Diesel is approaching $9. It's over dude. People don't have time to panic, this shit came on so fast people are just breaking. Everyone is turning off because it will be another 12 months until Trump is Impeached, Convicted and Removed from office.Trump fucked up. Trump made gas higher. Trump made driving unaffordable for most people now. The Covid lockdowns at least had cheap free flowing gas, this is the opposite where wagies are expected to continue working but accept carpooling, then vanpooling, then buspooling or just taking the city bus until they are completely broken and destroyed. This is the final stage of the business cycle and the gas car will be it's greatest casualty.Musk is already demoing the Cybercab around San Francisco. Almost all Teslas are spoken for now. People cannot afford to drive anything else because of Trump.
>>535123797>Published on January 29, 2023 at 7:56 pm by Omer Farooq This is a jeet post.
>>535123506Lol NO ONE is buying electric cars, they are sitting at dealerships forever. You need to update your script.
>>535119502>America literally produces its own oilyou dumb niggergtfogo to plebbit or the_donald to be with the rest of you retards
>>535123506The "USA" can't refine some oils or does not have a large capacity is lie created by communit liberals to freak conservatives out.We have the largest and can refine any kind of oil. The USA is the leader in this technology.
>>535123814You are the dumbest faggot. Show me how many cyber trucks have been sold in 2026 and how many were manufactured.
>>535120616I’ve know that for years! 3000 mile oil changes were invented by jiffy lube. I’ve gone 10k mailed before just check your levels.
>>535119436Does this affect trains, buses, and EVs?
>>535119500sounds alright to me, boss is taking care of business. where do u see the problem OP?
>>535123910It doesn't matter how many oil you produce, the oil baron will decide when and where and how much and at what cost they will sell the oil for. And they are going to fleece you for every single pennies.They won't go too overboard tho, just left you enough to pay rent and shit. They will milk you for as long as they can.
>>535119502Self-sufficiency is antisemitic, chud!
>>535123328Well, glad I'm just a red. CSM pays shit for what the position deals with. PSM isn't worth a fuck either.
>>535123441Communism leads to shortages that make the current situ look like babystuff, retard.
>>535123896What he thinks he said: "I win."What he could have said to "win" were it actually true: "The US actually moved its domestic synthetic oil production overseas."What he actually said: "Hurrrrrrr"
>>535123910> is lie created by communit liberals to freak conservatives out.1. speak english, jeet2. America's oil refineries are not set up for lubricant production, and America's refineries cannot accept low grade oil that trump buys. So, even if the theoretical capacity is high, the actual is very low. Nobody is buying crap oil as I explained above. We need the best quality stuff, which Trump charges a 20% import tax on now.>The USA is the leader in this technology.No, Germany is. Otherwise, American built motors would require higher grade oils which are the standard in Europe. Japan makes a better motor than Detroit and has been for a long time. People are keeping their Priuses, they aren't keeping their Hummers or Chargers.
>>535123169>>535123910Also, I personally drive diesel. I can tell you, personally, the amount of SUV and pickup truck drivers who have pulled up to a pump and panicked when it hit $100 and kept going. My fill up is usually $600 for both my saddle tanks. Gas prices go up, and the attempts by Congress to dilute gas will just destroy engines and fuck people over harder. There's a reason why white people gas stations like Chevron or Shell don't dilute and aren't taking part of Trump's scheme, because no insurance company will cover a bad gas insurance claim now.
>>535124037I'm just going to tell you a little secret right now. Go get a real job. Like a janitor. Or caregiver. At least changing old people diapers doesn't put you between $250 and a broke ass nigger.
>>535124137>America's oil refineries are not set up for lubricant productionLubricants are synthesized from refining byproducts. It's just needs to start with Ethylene.
>>535124322Oh I'm well aware of how shit this company fucking pays. I just don't know what to do anymore. I've got some associate degrees under my belt, but I saw the white collar world implode.I had thought a part time job and pursuing something practical would be the way to go. Healthcare? But could I keep my cool with fatass old people and druggies?
>>535119436looks like iran is getting bombed to the stone age, hell, maybe pre-carbon age
>>535119502
>ride share driver oil light onpoop saar just fill with emergency poop
RIDE A FUCKING SCOOTER YOU FAT OBESE FAGGOTS
>>535122458Any viscosity of oil in your engine is better than running it dry and burning it up. That's what was being said but your reading comprehension is on par with a retarded nigger. On second thought, put vegetable oil in your engine, nigger.
>>535120360> the much thicker oil from the Middle EastHow fucking clueless are you?
>>535119436easy fix
>>535124809The non-tard answer is to not run the vehicle at all until the proper oil is available. No one can afford to do that in this shit hole country so here we are. Sure use the wrong oil in a pinch, it will just foul everything up but that's a six month later problem.
>>535125378Dude unless it's over the dead of winter you've got no issues using 10W instead of 5W for a change. But equally if you don't have 5W you're a retarded autostore regardless of supply constraints.
>>535119502Producing oil and refining oil to make certain products are two VERY different things.
>>535119465>Just get oil into the engineAnd that's how you know it's fake or this is WWII Soviet times ahead
>>535125499The US has the largest refining capacity globally.
Amerilards are either gonna have to buy pre commonrail diesels and mix their own biodiesel or run LPG on their 7.0L LS9 V8s that power their trucks with beds the length of a midget.Fuck 'em.
>>535125378Exactly. See>>535125516That's exactly my point
>>535125516>And that's how you know it's fake or this is WWII Soviet times ahead3rd option. It's a shitty chain autoparts store that has burnt bridges with vendors so has to spin a story for staff to con customers.
>>535125584Sounds like something Germans currently do
>>535119502KEK!!!! You voted for this
>>535120313Dick cheese
>>535125532>As of 2024–2026 data, China has overtaken the United States to become the world leader in oil refining capacity, with approximately \(18.5\) million barrels per day (mb/d). China’s rapid expansion has placed it slightly ahead of the U.S., which holds the second-highest capacity, though the U.S. maintains the highest actual throughput and most complex, flexible refinery network.ACCKKAKAKCKAKAKKCKACK
>>535123229You know oil becomes inert over time right? You can't just put it in your freezer and have it last forever lol
>>535125756>though the U.S. maintains the highest actual throughput
>>535125769>You know oil becomes inert over time rightMineral 2 stroke doesn't.
>>535120487unfathomably underrated.
Good find. Thanks for dropping
>>535119436>oil shortage So buy calls or puts on take 5 oil change?
>>535125475Some vehicles require specific weights/blends and if they're not available just using whatever closest oil is available will cause problems later. This isn't 1999.The average Amerifat can barely afford this months car payment and will absolutely either just not change the oil or use whatever is available and/or cheapest. Either way the end result is a wrecked engine down the line.
I think the supply issues here are related to the supply chains of this discount store rather than a shortage of lubricants in general, they were probably relying on cheap shit from the middle east or even China.
>>535119502That doesn’t matter, oil is a global commodity. If the market for Brent gets fucked everyone will buy American oil, driving up demand and thus the price. That also doesn’t actually benefit anyone here except the oil companies unless we nationalize our oil industry (that’s gommunism)
>>535126198>Some vehiclesYeah some, you're not going to find an issue with a honda accord.
>>535123012>
>>535126338>That also doesn’t actually benefit anyone here except the oil companiesFunny how when you apply that simple test, Quo Bono to things that the US government bring unto this world everything becomes a bit clearer. Those drug companies sure needed that boost from covid.
>>535123949this I change my oil every summer and my 2019 Honda is just fine, don't be a fool and throw out your still good oil every 3k miles, change it and the filter every 10k
>>535123506When things go, you'll be killed almost immediatelyYour physiognomy will be your uniform
>>535119711we're all pissing and shedding with our thumbs up our ass. this is a toot sami coming for the whole beach. my boss quit and his wife mortgaged the house to buy Autozone stock.all in AutoZone. this is a cat and straw fee
>>535120001Seems like they plan to steer customers to generics, synthetics, and alternate brands, to capture market share from the other, less prepared, automotive retailers.>>535120132You're doing them a favor.Every person who goes to AutoZone to fix their car can look at you and say, "My car is a piece of shit, but at least I'm not that no-car-having skater retard over there."
