Lubricant Price Increases

This February Expect Lubricant Price Increases for all Major Oil Manufacturers

Beginning in February 2018 you can expect all major oil manufacturers – Chevron, Shell, Phillips 66, Exxon/Mobil, etc – to roll out lubricant price increases of 5-7% on lubricating oils, coolants/antifreezes and greases, with certain specific products potentially increasing beyond the 5-7% range. As is often the case, this increase in price is a result of the heightened cost of raw materials that impact the manufacturing, processing and delivery of these essential products.

In tandem with the announcements made by all major oil manufacturers regarding their lubricant price increases, on March 5th, 2018, SCL will raise all major oil branded and unbranded products by a comparable percentage.
