Where to Check the Authenticity of Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Engine oil can be tested for authenticity at testing institutions. The following are specific methods to distinguish between genuine and fake car engine oil: 1. Check the packaging: Genuine engine oil usually has neat packaging, while fake engine oil often has rough packaging with blurry fonts. Genuine engine oil also has a sealing tin foil at the oil opening, marked with the manufacturer's special logo. 2. Examine the appearance of the oil: Genuine oil is light in color, transparent, free of impurities, suspended particles, or sediments, and flows well when shaken. The color of genuine oil is much darker than that of fake oil. 3. Smell and feel: Genuine oil has a mild smell, while fake oil has a strong and irritating odor. Under the same viscosity grade, genuine oil feels less sticky, whereas fake oil feels more viscous and may exhibit a stringy texture when touched. 4. Price of the oil: The price of genuine engine oil usually does not vary significantly, so oil with a price that is drastically different from others may be fake.
