frm Stocktwits forum:

late night confirmation. Mechanic here Texas confirmed about the motor oil shortage, that he can’t even fill up customers engines.
Is there something I missed in the news about oil shortage to Texas?

I'm in NC. No run on m/o here, but it's getting ready to get crazy expensive and more scarce, so I went ahead and ordered three 5 gal jugs and a few singles for both vehicles while Walmart has plenty and cost is still low.

I may just go ahead and get another year's worth, since I change it myself. Does sealed oil have an expiration date?
Never had a need to buy more than 1 change of motor oil before.
