Yes it's normal. That seal is only for Malaysia Shell, not European Shell sold in Giant/Tesco. So all are still genuine Shell oils.

yeah they parallel imported. don't have any seal or sticker from Malaysia

agreed

How do I know the mileage for my engine oil

I bought 5W-30 by Perodua for my Myvi

Some info said 5,000km and some told me 7,000km

Appreciate your reply

Perodua 5W30 is a semi synthetic oil. so 7k-8k km is ok to change. but for me, I rather upgrade it to fully synthetic, can go to 12k-13k km per change on my car.

I used to believe mineral oil could last for 5,000km, semi synthetic 7,000km and fully synthetic 10,000km, until I came across this blog:

https://www.mekanika.com.my/kalau-guna-miny...km-atau-5000km/

It all depends on your car manufactured date and manual.

In my opinion, engine oil graded SN and SN Plus could go for 10,000km, regardless whether it is fully syn, semi syn or mineral.

Just bought this from Shopee. Haven't try yet. Anyone tested and how is it?

looks legit, what pricing?

Fully synthetic is the one started with 0W right?

But I read article saying fully synthetic is for new car and my car is 9yo

I have the same thinking too

Used to bring my car to SC for oil change due to warranty and seeing the engine oil draining out still very clear made me think was it really time to change

Felt so wasted the engine oil

How much for that ya?

lol this guy just started shopee selling as well
https://shopee.com.my/Motul-300V-Power-5W40...5329.5478394180
80/liter still can be had if buying >=3
(yes his stocks genuine ori parallel imported, not from local distributor HG [or someone else if they changed again, lol])

Ic, nevermind I still need to finish my SS stock for 1 more round which can still quite long especially lately not driving much, only once a week! Lol

Price is RM100.

many packing in Malaysia can put MADE IN ANYWHERE . lol

very good pricing

It does looks like made in Malaysia product. Packed to look like made in Japan. Even the number printed is Malaysia number 03-xxxxx without even international code. LOL

Anyway, if it's good, I don't mind cause better than using branded but fake. Ya ya..I know can get direct from petrol station or supermarket confirm ori. I just am in the phase of testing out oils to compare it with ori Shell, Petronas and so on.

Think from good side, MADE in Japan FOR Malaysia market so no need international dialing code

BTW is oil filter A MUST to get ORI one, for example Myvi must get Perodua ORI?

Last time a workshop said his customer all he use "OEM" for them...

I come across this recently. https://www.rapidmate.my/ they seems to be doing promo on zic oil. Maybe can give it a try... Hmmm... RM 118 for fully synthetic...

6UEST, Quazacolt,

The assurance of the originality of Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40 only for those from Europe and sold at Giant/ Tesco?

How about SHU from Hong Kong?

One spare part shop that I frequented, told me to be careful when buying Shell engine oil from Shopee.

Then promoted SHU from Hong Kong😁

Found similar product in Shopee, with comparable prices.

No idea bro.

I only know Giant Tesco ori
Vanli auto parts group also ori

Rest I dunno

Thank you for info, bro.

Will look into Vanli Auto Spares Sdn. Bhd. at Shopee😁

you're welcome. not sure on Shopee, i know they on Lazada and huge chain of stores at Jalan Ipoh
