Since I haven't seen anything posted or said, figure I will use my connections to inform the community.

Pennzoil Synthetic Blends and Full Synthetics are going to become very scarce starting now.

The main plant overseas that is responsible for turning the gas into liquid has gone down for unscheduled repairs and potentially won't be back up until 2nd Quarter.

This means for us Gold, Platinum and Ultra Platinum will become increasingly hard to find for that time.

Shell is cutting shipments to suppliers almost in half, so it is very possible certain oils will run out as well.

Thanks for the heads up. My car will be due for its yearly change when the warm weather finally gets here, so I just ordered a case of 0w-40.

Scarce now kinda funny, they been scarce. But thanks for the insider news. I think back to those killer penzoil commercials when GtL first came out. I feel like they really could have gave Mobil 1 a shot for top spot. Boy, I was wrong on that 1, lol.
