Costco Begins Rationing Kirkland Signature Motor Oil As Refined Crisis Spreads

Earnings

Costco Begins Rationing Kirkland Signature Motor Oil As Refined Crisis Spreads 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." Another auto blog, MotorBiscuit , provided more detail on the refining crisis and its impact on the global liquids market: The ongoing military entanglement with Iran and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have effectively choked off these crucial exports. To compound the supply chain disaster, the massive Pearl GTL facility in Qatar sustained heavy damage from Iranian airstrikes in March 2026, instantly crippling a major portion of global production for at least a year.
