Costco Begins Rationing Kirkland Signature Motor Oil As Refined Crisis Spreads
September 14th, 2026Via: ZeroHedge:
Costco’s Kirkland Signature motor oil has doubled in price, and customers now reportedly face a purchase limit as the Gulf energy conflict, combined with the Russia-Ukraine war, has sent the global refining market into a tailspin.
Auto news website The Auto Wire reports that a 10-quart package of Kirkland full-synthetic oil now costs about $58, up from around $30, with a new purchase limit of two packages per week.
Costco’s online sales platform confirms an order limit: when attempting to order three packs, an alert message reads, “Item 997930 has a maximum order quantity of 2.”
