From where you bought your oil? Confirm genuine?

Bought from reputable Shopee seller.. Either from VR Global or Paulhew.

Confirm it is genuine as oil is from Hong Kong and QR code matches with website.

Our local retailers mark up fully synthetic oil kaokao punya.

Should be no issues as long no engine oil leaking etc. Honda, usually valve gasket leaking every 80k km interval, for my car. Doesn't related to engine oil

Thanks. So vrglobal and paulhew is selling genuine too? Saw their products, but still didnt buy yet as not sure genuine or not.

So products from HK can verify with qr code that leads to hk website? Any idea how to know if the products are from hk?

I see vanli selling thai products. Can this be validated by qr code?

If really need Shell Helix Ultra fully synthetic, grab it at Lotus. Giants also has in few occasions. Both affordable price. Use it from 2009-2015 back then, cz car can take 5w40, current car need 0w20

The issue here is i need helix ultra 0w20, which is not sold in malaysia. Only can buy from online sellers, which i never buy before sweat.gif

Unless if i change to 5w30, which are sold here.

Those in lotus are 5w30? Or 5w40? And do u buy from vanli before? Reliable?

Ok we are in the same issues, need 0w20. And mine, need 4.5L bottles each oil change. I end up taking Mizu after warranty ended due to above, cz shopee mall and got 1L bottle sold there.

Few times (more than 6 times) bought Mobil 1 5w30 from Vanli (people said reputable) via Lazada, for few car oil change, I believe they are selling genuine products. But 5w30 make my FC worsen a bit for my car, so prefer 0w20 back as recommended viscosity

Seems like we have same issue, need 0w20. But good to know vanli is selling genuine products it seems.

Let me think more whether to get the helix ultra 0w20 from them, or just buy castrol magnatec 0w20, since castrol has official mall in both lazada and shopee. U have use magnatec before?
