This is my guess. The oil on the store shelves now were produced with
crew oil from last summer. Most gasoline is produced and consumed almost
immediately. But engine oil is not consumed immediately. We only change
oil a few times a year. So they don't produce oil everyday. But this is
just a guess. It's likely the price is artificially kept high.
