How do i find wholesale distributors for the top brands of motor oil?

my brother and i are thinking of starting up an oil changing business and we are trying to figure out where to find product sourcing. we don't want to be limited to just one brand like franchised lube centers. we want to get Mobil1, Castrol, Pennzoil, Valvoline, etc.How do i find wholesale distributors for the top brands of motor oil?
Jiffy lube is owned by Shell and Shell owns Pennzoil. Hence why they have Pennzoil in bulk, they also have distributors for other brands of oil they buy in bulk like Castrol.



In order for you to buy in bulk and keep the costs down you will have to commit to carrying 1 brand of oil in the guns like citgo or valvoline. Most oil distributors have reps that will come out to your shop and offer you different prices and bonuses if you carry that oil.



There is no way you can order Mobil 1, Castrol, Valvoline all in bulk to lower the cost enough for you to make a nice profit. It just wouldn't make good business sense, thats why most companies like Jiffy Lube or Lube N Tune promote certain brands.



Stick to 1 major oil company in the bulk tanks where you will make a nice profit but take the hit on Mobil 1 and castrol by buying them by the case.



To find distributors in your area look in the yellow pages for companies with Oil in the title. You will need several distributors since not just 1 carries all brands.
