have u tried buying magnatec or shell helix ultra from tesco ? these are made in the e.u and are brought in through tesco's channels, therefore are sold here cheaper than locally packed ones.

for e.g i recently bought , during a weekend offer, shell helix ultra for 80 bucks. the packing date was first quarter of this year...
castrol edge is sold for around 150 bucks...

and its tesco. i dont think they sell fakes....

tesco brand oils.... im wondering who their supplier is ... is it BP ? if its BP, then, tesco oil must be the same as castrols ... right ?

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!!

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