Oil Prices

[IainP]

Base oil prices are increasing yet again, if you’re planning on doing oil changes before winter be an idea to buy now. From what I read/ updates I’ve been sent, this will continue, one of the main refineries is expected to be out of action until early/mid ‘27.

Another angle they're coming in at to rip off the average human being..

The Shell plant in Quatar is the worlds largest gtl plant which produces a large %age of the worlds lighter base oils, it was hit in the March missile attacks. It’s not coming back online until early/mid ‘27. Summer demand always ramps prices up anyway, this time they’re unlikely to drop end of Autumn/Winter.

With multiple cars we buy 5/30 synthetic in 20L tubs, £48 delivered last year, £58 in April, projected to be £78-88 by September. I need 3 different grades, so now I have to find somewhere to put 3x20L drums.
