I only have one Truck, don’t need a Truckload of oil, or even a pallet. If I did I’d go straight to the Manufacturer. I doubt any supplier can beat $9.49 gal.
Diesel engine oil shortage predictions, will it happen?

If you aren’t having a shortage and can get the oil you want for the price you like, carry on. You are doing excellent!
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
I put 5 in my cart online and wife did the same
Then while there to pick it up they had 8 cases left in stock and she bought those also
I should be good for awhileRideandrepair and vanlith Thank this. -
So nobody in Phoenix has synthetic oil. Went to Volvo dealer for PM and they put shell t4 conventional crap
It’s time for another pm and I even don’t know where to go and what kind of oil to use now…vanlith Thanks this. -
I know up here in Central Canada T5 + 6 mostly cannot be found in 5 gallon pails. A dealer of a large auto part store tells me he cannot get any pails + that has been that way for well over a month. Only the 1 gallon varieties are around + they are running out or spotty to find week to week for now anyway.
However a possible bigger problem i see now on the selves is the shortage of DEF. Some comes in but is snaped up by small trucking firms he tells me which means that the Urea shortage coming from the East that was talked up a few months ago is manifesting itself largely now.
I suspect there is supplies of both diesel engine oil + DEF in certain areas of North America + Europe but less in others with both being whittled down greatly in the next few months EVERYWHERE as shortages themselves + panic buying occurs (something like food at groc. stores in the near future). -
I didn’t hear about def shortages…. Is it real???? That’s sooo stupid. Nobody will be able to drive without itvanlith Thanks this. -

Just got a couple pails of 5W-40 the other day, still no problems.
Helps that I'm not brand loyal, if it meets the spec its going in. -

I can still get all the oil and Def I need if I buy it in 55 gallon drums. Anything less than that it's starting to get a little scarce.
Not unavailable, just not a lot of it on the shelves compared to last year.AModelCat Thanks this.
