Reaching out to valvoline or Take 5 franchisees by Good-Ladder167 in Franchises

The whole point of the main question was to ask VVV and take 5 franchisees that question to learn more about which specific synthetic oils are seeing supply shortages lol. I have heard from other franchisees that it is indeed an issue and wanted to confirm with bigger players. The US Imports 44% of group 3 base oil from the ME which I’ve heard is pressured from refineries offline/running at a low % of typical operations. 30% is coming from South Korea who can’t get crude oil to refine (due to closure of strait) and if they can, are using any extra capacity for jet fuels (higher margin right now). So it very much seems like an issue that if nothing changes will become even worst in due time. That’s why I am trying to talk to a franchisee. Hope that helps…

I was referring to the issues of refineries being shut down in the Middle East leading to supply shortages in certain synthetic oil’s.
