If you think you will need it, buy what you can, even if it ends up on a shelf. This is not going to get better for owners of older cars. I buy from auto parts stores daily, and they are feeling the shortage, so I do too. Several years ago Advance/Carquest pulled their name from the oil products and switched to Fram. With the Fram brand going out, the new product name is Argos. Meanwhile Fram products were deeply discounted, so I bought several cases of motor oil and 5 gallon containers of transmission fluid at fire sale prices. I don't know if the linked video mentions Cardone, but they were one of the victims also, as well as Raybestos. Makes me want to go out and buy a new vehicle with a kill switch. Not.
