yeah. got ah ?
i wish there would make some comparison study between tesco oil and branded oil... at least, we know at what level it stands...

they have mobil 1 fully syn, at rm145, but worried that it is fake.

i never buy OEM stuff from hypermarket...

bcos i tried to buy carrefour brand soda biscuit cheaper than hup seng brand soda biscuit just about few cents only, the crispy no good enough compare to hup seng brand... learnt a lesson: cheap doesn't means good quality...

I agreed....all these foodstuff by OEM brand like Tesco/Carrefour...all tak boleh makan...i would doubt the quality of the engine oil as well....who knows...maybe it's oil which does not pass QC from the manufacturer and they sell it cheap to Tesco/Carrefour lor....rejected oils....

shell helix fully syn price at Carrefour is Rm145++

but, no aluminum seal at the cap..just cap only

Yup, quality of "Self/Own-branded" product can b questionable, even suspect!
However, for Orig Oil Giants' branded products? Don't think so cos legal aspects are HUGE!!
Sealing of bottles depend on country of origin. With aluminium seals, the plastic cap is NOT sealed. Those w/o aluminium seals, the plastic caps ARE SEALED!

i mean, shell Helix at carrefour dont have aluminum seal & cap seal..

only has loose cap..

maybe someone had opened all of them edi..

could it be that Tesco engine oil is actually another brand's oil which is rebadged as Tesco? Like their mineral water, which is produced by the same factory as Spritzer. Their cream crackers also actually another brand, which is repackaged as Tesco brand.

Yup, probably some ppl (with itchy hands?) wanted to "see" the oil inside? Haha!
I personally hv bought 2 bottles of Castrol Magnatec, 1 bottle of Mobil 1 & 1 bottle of Mobil Formula S fr Tesco AND they are ALL SEALED!!

all ok? the mobil 1 ori?

Yup, even with date of manufacture imprinted 26/07/2010.
Do our locally packed oils hv such info? Dun rber...

oic..so it is not without the seal as some suggested?

Thanks, if the price is too big of a gap, will consider mobil 1 from tesco instead of the ones from petrol stations

it seems like some one also use tesco oil..






price quite cheap wor..

Thats why i said, in the uk, no issue wth the oil. N i dint think the engine oil we get here is locally packed....

may i know how often do u guys change your engine oil?? im having a fully synthetic oil(forgot what grade and what brand already) in my 2005 car and wonder how often should i change the engine oil? the recomended changing frm the workshop is after 10k mileage but i wish to hear some other opinion and thought of u guys... is there anyway to check whether i should change my engine oil now(except the mileage reading)?

Did you guys remember few years ago everyone was raging to get ACE engine oil that was cheaper than normal branded engine oil? Some even added tuffoil inside. Then after that fad has went everyone went Eneos because it is cheap and Japanese. Then it was Idemitsu.

All in all, every oil is almost the same. Don't like change brand. If you want really expensive engine oil its either Royal Purple or Ravenol. And there are only 2 places to get them.

maybe u wanna try it?? ..if okeyhh we join uu...

Just recently bought from Tesco & now used Castrol Edge Sport 0W-40. Feeling is superb.

How's the oil performance? I just bought 4 bottles of it and have not tried till now cuz I've been using Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 from TESCO also bought at RM 139. Shell Helix Ultra don't have the aluminium seal on the opening though, but I've used 3 bottles since 2009 till now. So far so good, the oil still looks good even though I've been travelling more than 11000 km before oil change.

Anyone can share their experience on the CASTROL, MOBIL and SHELL Fully Synthetic bought at TESCO ??

so far i've no issue with the shell, and castrol oil that i bought from tesco.
in fact. i recently bought a bottle of shell helix ultra at 80 ringgit. fresh bottle pulak tu. ( bargain price i know). its now in my car, and i've no issues.
but i found something out. the oils that they sell in tesco is actually brought in through their channels from the UK. so for some of the product, the oil spec is lower that what u can get locally. for example. castrol magnatec 10-40 tesco is sl rated. the one sold locally is actually sm rated.
i think most engine oils officially sold in malaysia is at the moment sm and sn rated. where else , in the uk. most fully syn is sm rated, most semi is sl rated.
