I ordered two 5-quart jugs on January 19 for the $16.24 price (for use with other vehicles); however the shipment won't arrive until February 5 - February 19. The price is back up to $24.97 now.

Just a FYI, I ordered mine 10 minutes before posting this thread. I already have mine , came in 5 days ago.
Still a crazy good price at $25. Also get $1 per bottle digital credit by selecting slow shipping.

Ozzy you should look into distributing it unofficially- Clearly there is a massive gap between supply and demand- when you think about it, the demand to supply ratio is better than cocaine. Do a google search, all sorts of folks looking for pennzo in Au/Oz. + you can tell folks you are in the oil business.
$150 for seven quarts, and boatloads sold. If the drug-runners only knew.

Last Saturday the biggest car parts chain in these parts - Supercheap Auto - had a "25% off everything" sale, with some items going at 40%, 50% even 60% off. I checked on-line and they had Penrite 5W-20 full synthetic in the correct Ford spec for our engines going at 40% off, so I skedaddled down to my local store quick smart.
One count 'em one 5 litre bottle left on the shelf, so I grabbed it.
I just happened to be going to my usual fresh fish retailer the same morning in a different part of town which also has a Supercheap Auto nearby, so I dropped into that store and guess what - one count 'em one 5 litre bottle left on the shelf! I grabbed that one as well.
Definitely a shortage of correct spec 5W-20 around here!

Hmmm, you could be on to something there!

Guys I have some further good news for you penny-pinchers who were waiting for the price to drop further from $16, And as if god wanted to rub it in the faces of the kiwis paying $100 a bottle for the same oil.
Its finally affordable- now about $4. There is a $22 gift card redeemable at Shell gasoline (the other purchase you dont splurge on).
And you cant be discouraged by the cost of the stamp either- none is required.

Having said that, I only buy it to top the car up between services and my mechanic charges me around US$160 to change the oil on my '10 XKR.

Don't worry too much about us. We have the Australian Penrite over here which meets the correct specification and it is often on special for US$40 for 5 litres.

I have got a pretty extensive tool collection but it is probably 30 years since I last changed my oil!
As far as I am concerned it is just part of the cost of running a car if I want to continue a full main dealer or specialist service history.
I could buy the oil myself and drop it off with the car but I think that is taking the **** as my mechanic has to earn a living as well and will be relying on the markup on parts and consumables in his business model.
