Any full synthetic motor oil is going to be unavailable very soon. This is mainly your 0W20 (most used in GMs) and 5W30 full synthetic Dexos products. It will also affect your 0W8, 0W16, 5W20, etc full synthetics. What’s on the shelves and in warehouses are what’s left.
Full synthetic oils are made from group 3 base oils. There was a refinery in Qatar that made about 40% of the world’s group 3 base oils that got bombed and is out of production. And with the Straight of Hormuz being closed, another major refinery of group 3 base oils in Korea is dry with no oil.
If your vehicles use a full synthetic, I’d stock up. Once supply dries up, this will last well into ‘27. So there is a real shortage because of the war. Thats good to know. I'll probably get a couple cases of what my VW takes.
