The guy there said Penrite is going up 8%.
Didn`t say anything else

Might grab a couple this time around on sale till 12 June.

They all will unfortunately.

Like fuel the cost of crude oil has skyrocketed so oil production is going to be impacted the same as at the pumps.

I'm just surprised they've held out as long as they had before it went up.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 10L bottles of penrite end up at $200 by the end of the year.

How is the price of a fully synthetic product effected by the price of a mineral product ?

Doesn't it all come from crude and then refined more to make it synthetic?

"Synthetic oil is a man-made lubricant that consists of artificially made chemical compounds. Synthetic oils are typically created from chemically modified materials such as petroleum components, but the base material is almost always distilled crude oil."

Are you running this in an N/A application?

 

[losh1971]

I'm currently running Nulon 10w 40, which I'd say is about the same.
