Nissan, Toyota send letters to dealerships warning production cut by 45% price hikes imminent. Wal-mart & Costco warned to expect empty shelves by Mobil. https://nitter.poast.org/CostaKapo/status/2053948679485009990#m
I read about this yesterday or the day before on a vehicle forumYes, we heard the same thing a few years ago and Caterpillar put out a similar bulletin to their dealer networks about oils becoming scarce. I bought a few cases of oil at that time and still have a case or two left over. This is just a scare like all the other scares. This is just the toilet paper scare but for car people.
>>535140048You damn idiot this is their way to save money. It's not because of a shortage of any sort. They just don't want to pay more than they did last year. 55% because that 55% costs what 100% of the oil did the year before. Are you stupid?
I bought a couple bottles of 5W30. The way I see it, it's stupid to stockpile but equally stupid to not have at least enough to get to the next town over safely.
>>535140048>posted it againyea, we'll be seeing this on the news soon.
>>535140048Motorcraft chads stay winning
>>535140698>Both letters cite a supply shortage >It's not a supply shortage.Reading is hard.
>>535140048Are you STILL talking about Epstein War prices??
>>535140698Have a second source. A Nissan spokesperson confirmed the authenticity of the bulletin to The Drive. Notably, the “why” section points out that the supply shortage is affecting all automakers, not just Nissan. https://www.thedrive.com/news/second-automaker-sounds-alarm-over-dwindling-motor-oil-stock
>>535140048has anyone considered using baby oil
>>535141059I dunno, I haven't received any letters about supply shortages for constituent components of any of the building materials I buy, and literally every component of if made from petrochemicals (single ply roofing). Our prices are increasing 10% across the board June 1, however. Adhesives and primer will be more maybe, but as of now 10%.
>>535142534>Motor oil supply is not affecting roofing material.Got it.
>>535142534>literally every component I buy made from petrochemicals (single ply roofing). >Our prices are increasing 10% across the board June 1What is SUPPLY and demand.
>>535142534what
>>535142534>don't hire me after junegot it, thanks
>>535141059>>535141804You're just not understanding the concept I'm trying to get across. They can claim supply shortages are the reason why they're only going to buy 55% of what they did last year but you I and everyone else knows they could buy all the fucking oil they want. They just don't want to pay out the nose for it. This is their way of not blowing their budget out of the water. Are you retarded? Literally stupid fucking idiots. These are excuses. And you're caring water for them for some reason I don't understand. The only reason they can't buy a bunch more oil other than budget constraints is likely contractual.
>>535140048If you guys are short on oil you can come to my place and suck it out of my driveway
>>535140048oh, man. mechanics can't have gaysex on and in your car anymore. first EV, now this. the mechanic job is donezo
>>535145787EV's will eventually have mechanics all the same, except the motors and batteries will go to motor and battery rebuild shops for rebuilds instead of being taken care of at the mechanic shop
>>535145653>The only reason they can't buy a bunch more oil other than budget constraints is likely contractual.Again, they literally gave supply shortages as the reason. Twice. From two different major auto manufacturers. I'd say I don't know why (you) are pretending to be retarded, but we all know why. Doritos are now $9 a pound btw. https://fortune.com/2026/04/07/pepsico-frito-lay-chips-food-and-drink-inflation-consumer-products-doritos-cheetos-tostitos/
>>535140048Most motor oil is synthetic.Synthetic oil is made from silica.How is this affected by the Iran War?
>>535146318https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/synthetic-lubricants-market"Most" is a word with meaning, educste yourself. Synthetics are NOT most.
I bought 15 quarts of 0w20 and oil filters earlier this week because I'm smrt.
>>535140753you need 2 quarts of 5w30 to drive to the next town? what the fuck do you drive lmao
>>53514004810w30 and 0w20 are still $15 per 5l bottle at Walmart. This is what you get for buying cars with retarded specs.I bet you ghetto rice burners need premium fuel, too
