The impacts are still being discovered, but have been severe. Prices for all petroleum goods will be (are) increasing due to the storms and the aftermath. I wouldn't panic, but it wouldn't hurt to have a couple of oil changes worth of oil on hand.

I can't remember the last time I bought oil at the time of the change. Whenever Costco has it on sale, I hoard a few cases.

I just changed the oil in my motorhome. Man that Detroit 60 holds a lot of oil. 10 gallons of Rotella T5 set me back $200.

you don't need to change your oil. It's all a scheme by big brother to keep us dependent on big oil. Actually you don't need oil at all, if you think about it water works way better than oil anyway. I mean we use water to keep things cool and have you ever put water on your hands then rubbed them together, they are SLICK. Don't be dependent on big oil just fill everything with water there is no possible way it could go poorly!
