How to Distinguish Genuine and Fake Mobil 1 Gold?
1 Answers
Methods to distinguish genuine and fake engine oil: 1. Check the packaging appearance: Genuine oil packaging is more refined, with neat workmanship. The sealing cap is a one-time lid, and the gap has sealing tin foil with the manufacturer's special mark. If these features are missing, it might be fake oil. Fake oil packaging tends to be rougher. 2. Observe the oil appearance: Genuine oil is light-colored, transparent, free of impurities, suspended matter, or sediment. Fake oil is darker, may contain impurities or sediment, or feel sticky when touched. 3. Smell the oil: Genuine oil has a mild, crystal wax-like fragrance, while fake oil has a pungent odor. 4. Freezing test: Place both oils in a -21°C environment for several hours. Genuine oil remains fluid, while fake oil nearly solidifies. 5. Oil price: Genuine oil prices are relatively stable. If the price differs significantly from other sellers, be cautious. 6. Shake the oil: Observe its fluidity and how quickly bubbles disappear. Genuine oil flows well, while fake oil flows poorly, and bubbles disappear slowly due to missing or ineffective anti-foam agents. 7. Manufacturer's anti-counterfeiting certification: Look for anti-counterfeiting marks on the bottle or cap, such as laser labels, official websites, customer service hotlines, SMS verification, special logos, product serial numbers, QR codes, or anti-counterfeiting labels. 8. Compare anti-counterfeiting and qualification codes: The anti-counterfeiting code on the cap should match the qualification code below it.
