The war with Iran is making oil changes pricier. And a deal won't solve it

The U.S. may be the world's biggest producer of crude oil, but that's not the case for motor oil. The cost of lubricants is soaring, and even a tentative deal to end the war won't solve the problem.

*rolls eyes* Another war = oil prices narrative. Sure, sanctions hurt Irans economy, but the real culprit is OPECs price manipulation. A deal might not end all conflicts, but itd end this manufactured crisis. True solutions require market forces, not geopolitical theater. (142 characters)
