How to distinguish the true and false engine oil?

If you want to better distinguish the authenticity of engine oil, the first way is to look at the color of packaging and engine oil. The real engine oil is packed neatly without stubble. The lid is a disposable lid, and the color of the packaging box is bright, while the outer packaging of fake engine oil is rough and dull. In addition, many real oil gaps have sealing foils with special marks of corresponding manufacturers. Please check carefully when buying oil. Look at the color, at room temperature, the color of real engine oil is much darker than that of fake engine oil.

The second is to smell. By smell identification, real oil will have a faint fragrance. Speaking of it, from the analysis of engine oil composition, generally speaking, the composition of engine oil is composed of base oil and additives. Except mineral oil, all kinds of oils in the market basically contain chemical additives, that is, 0.6% aromatic hydrocarbons. This is because the depth of smell in oil is different. If you smell an obvious aromatic smell, it may be that the quality of the oil is not good; If there is some burning smell, this is the characteristic of genuine engine oil. Today's counterfeiters like to use low-grade mineral oil to make inferior products, pretending to be all over synthetic engine oil.

Another is weighing. The real oil filling is machine-operated and the control is very precise. Each bottle weighs about the same, and most of the fake oil is filled by hand with different weights. We can weigh several bottles of oil at the same time and check their weight differences. If the difference is too big, it can almost be judged as fake oil, so that the load-bearing beam can know the true and false oil well.

We all know that inferior and counterfeit engine oil products will not only cause damage to automobile engines, but also cause serious economic losses to car owners. In order to pursue higher interests, some auto repair shops carry out illegal activities on oil products, which has brought great trouble to the majority of car owners and friends. For example, most of the fake and shoddy engine oil on the market is processed and canned with recycled waste engine oil, or they buy inferior engine oil products and refill them to make them inferior, even though they have rich driving experience. Old drivers may be confused.
