  • Iran war triggers motor oil shortages and price surges amid Middle East supply disruption
    May 19, 2026, 6:57 AM EDT. Wholesale motor oil prices are surging as supply chains face disruption from the ongoing war with Iran. Damage to the Pearl GTL plant in Qatar and closure of the Strait of Hormuz have slashed production of critical base oils, especially Group III grades which supply 44% of the global market. Industry leaders warn of imminent shortages of low viscosity oils like 0W-20, essential for newer vehicles and accounting for a third of passenger car demand. Prices have soared by up to $5 a gallon, a drastic jump from typical annual increases of less than $1, driven by higher costs for crude, additives, and logistics. The crisis highlights the vulnerability of global lubricant supply amid geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf.
