I avoid Shell Helix Ultra - too many fakes out there

I chanced upon a photo comparing the real and fake bottle, but am unable to find it now. Anyone can share?

I don't think hypermarkets/supermarkets of that scale will sell fake engine oil.

The most they do is parallel import selling the products that is not meant for our market.

Just like genuine car spareparts. If it is for domestic China market consumption. You cannot say that is a fake right.

Hello,

Suppose, the oil API offered by the factory in SJ.

Is there a problem if we use higher levels? (for example SL)
Is it beneficial?

SJ in minimum requirements and can we use higher API?

Thanks

Do a search in BITOG forum on this oil brand and see if they have any review or UOA or not. From there you can judge if it's good enough or not.

My friend once told me, you want your products to sell better it’s very easy.

Just write some Japanese words on it and you suddenly can sell at a premium and higher price.

Just a heads-up, Giant is offering SHU at $29/- only.

Only issues are finding a workshop willing to change oil/filter and charge labour only.   Currently market rate for this labour service seems to be inching up, like $35 or more now.
