Costco has raised the price of motor oil sold under its exclusive private-label brand as well as limited how much of it customers can buy weekly as oil prices climb yet again.

Americans looking to try to save some money by purchasing motor oil to do their own oil changes may consider this yet another blow to their wallets, as they are already contending with high grocery prices and inflation worries.

Costco’s Kirkland Signature full-synthetic motor oil 5-quart two pack now costs around $58, well above the approximately $30 it had been selling for just last year. Costco is also only allowing customers to purchase two boxes a week.

    But at least the hot dog and soda is only a $1.50. Something tells me this will be my main diet if this timeline continues.

        What you should spread awareness about is heart and kidney disease. Sodium is the devil in delicious disguise. I miss those $5 salt bombs.

        Please consider donating this week’s $5 to your national heart charity. Oh and get off the tik-ee’s, it’s melting your mind.

          When I went to Costco, it was always when I had to renew my membership so I had a similar decision but it’s… do I want a $60 turd dog, or $60 slice of pepperoni oil spill.
