The UK’s base oils supply fell to a four-month low in September amid a simultaneous dip in domestic output and imports.Base oils output of 21,000t in September fell from 24,000t in August to a three-month low, government data showed.The UK’s base oils imports of close to 30,000t in September fell from more than 33,000t the previous month amid a drop in shipments from Belgium and the Netherlands.The slowdown cut the UK's total supply to around 50,500t in September, down from almost 57,000t the previous month.The lower supply in UK coincided with still-lower-than-usual base oils output in Italy.The trend raised the prospect of Europe’s Group I base oils availability staying lower than usual at the end of the third quarter. .Italy’s Sept base oils output rises
