Costco Hikes Motor Oil Prices Amid Rising Oil Costs
Costco has raised the price of its Kirkland Signature full-synthetic motor oil 5-quart two pack to around $58, a significant increase from last year's price of approximately $30.
The wholesale club operator is also limiting purchases of this item to two boxes per week, as well as the Mobil 1's full-synthetic motor oil 1-quart six pack, which sells for about $44, to five per membership.
This move comes as oil prices continue to rise due to ongoing tension in the Middle East, with Brent crude oil reaching above $109 a barrel on Monday morning.
