Costco hikes motor oil prices to almost double its usual rate, and even worse, they are now rationing it with a measly weekly limit

Costco has officially implemented strict purchase limits on motor oil as prices for the product climb significantly, CNBC reports. If you are planning a trip to the warehouse club to stock up on supplies for your next oil change, you will need to prepare for both higher costs and restricted inventory.

The retailer is now enforcing a limit of 1 transaction per membership, with a maximum of 2 units every 7 days for its popular Kirkland Signature full synthetic motor oil. This specific product, which comes in a two-pack of 5-quart bottles, is seeing a major price jump. It is now retailing for $57.99, which is a massive increase from the typical price point that usually hovers near $30.
