Chevron is the Third Major to Announce a Price Increase in Round Three for 2018, and add Reliance Fluid Technologies to the List of Independent Blenders Announcing a Price Adjustment

Chevron announced a general price increase of all lubricating oils and greases up to 9%. The price movement is effective August 1, 2018. Chevron attributes the increase to the higher cost of raw materials impacting the manufacturing of its products.


Reliance Fluid Technologies (RFT) announced it will implement a price increase of 4 to 8% a gallon on its bulk and packaged lubricants. The increase is effective July 16, 2018. RFT says the increase is due to the rising costs of base oil, additives and freight.
