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.

IMHO.AFAIK.
Certain products,   they sell shelf space.

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.

 

The most expensive is autosaver.  Labour fee alone is 40, still have not include gst.

Only delkol motorsynth TDI 5w-40 is Mercedes 229.31 and 229.51 approved. 
229.1 is a super old spec. Most cars need at min 229.3 now. Better if 229.5. 
imho why bother when totachi meets 229.51 and is cheaper. TOTACHI Ultima EcoDrive L 5W-30.

The Delkol on sale is NOT Mercedes approved! 
which is what it is touting it’s so great being used on a C63. 
if using on Mercedes I rather used approved oils for a little more. I was mistaken on the price of delkol. If $5/L is good enough for you regardless of approvals, then go ahead. 
 

anyway just to let everyone know that meet specs of vw Mercedes does not mean it is approved. If it is an approved oil it will state as “approved 229.5” on the label. This is how those non approved oil try to marketing themselves as such.

As long as you don’t stretch intervals. Any fully synthetic is fine.

Why you use 5w40 for Swift? Isn't it too thick? 5w30 or 5w20 would be more appropriate for modern engine.

Probably something off-topic - but for those of you who DIY your EO changes - where do you do this? At your HDB carpark? 

Or do you guys go somewhere else to do this, since it is "technically" illegal to do vehicle servicing at HDB carparks... 🙄

[Zeeal]

There's someone on carousell who will travel to your place and remove the engine oil via the pump method (some say this is not a full drain, but watch youtube to make your own decision). He will also dispose the oil for you.

I understand he has oil filter and EO you can get from him but if not labor only also can
