Costco has increased the price of its Kirkland Signature motor oil and introduced a purchase limit, according to recent reports. The warehouse retailer confirmed the changes, which affect customers buying the private-label oil in stores and online.
The price increase and purchase limit come amid broader cost pressures in the automotive and retail sectors. Costco has not publicly detailed the exact reasons for the move, but such limits are often implemented to manage inventory and prevent bulk reselling.
Kirkland Signature motor oil is a popular product among Costco members due to its competitive pricing compared to name-brand alternatives. The purchase limit restricts the number of units a customer can buy in a single transaction.
Costco has not announced how long the purchase limit will remain in effect. Members are advised to check with their local warehouse or the Costco website for current pricing and availability.
