The prob with oil frm tesco is the manufacturing date.
Still sell year 2012 oil although now is 2015

most of their oil on shelf display: mobil ,shell,total..etc etc stock come from europe. just old batch shja, thats why cheap.most i see manufacture date is 2013
maybe they made deal with those oil company help to clear old stock with cheaper price.
packaging in overseas not same with us,maybe they don't have those top seal for some particular brand oil?
how to dispute......u gonna need some prove"not with my mechanic says" .at least with a lab test result.

sorry to bump up this thread, bought shell helix ultra 5w-40, cap sealed but no aluminium seal in the cap. Changed at the workshop nearby and it is the same quality i guess, RM139 per bottle only.

mag date - Jun 2015

I used to buy engine oil from Tesco for years. Tesco is worth to trust than spare part shop. I am glad that Tesco and AEON Big importing engine oils and sell at reasonable price despite of main distributor in Malaysia and Singapore selling at crazy price.

Sometime Giant Singapore offer at Shell 5w40 @ SGD32.90.

Please survey overseas market e.g. amazon, then you will realize that engine oil is very cheap in western countries and Tesco has good margin when us selling @ RM129/4L

  For example, Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 Motor Oil - 5 Quart only USD11 after rebate at USA now

We could google anything to learn. It is not wise to believe that paying more for better quality.

Be a smart consumer

Good luck

My experience with tesco on engine oil has been 4 years

I've bought:
Shell Semi Syn 10w - 40 @ RM 89
Shell Full Syn 5w - 40 @ RM 119

But in year 2016, is no longer that cheap, easily RM 139 now

Why 0/5w-30 not popular with Tesco? Have been waiting more than a year, still don't see them at Tesco!

Tq, Which Aeon ctr is this.

I had been using that capalang Tesco brand 20W50 mineral engine oil in my Volvo for all of the 6 years that I owned the car.

Cheap, no probs.

I trust engine oils sold in Tesco more than those at the spare parts shop.

Heck, I trust Tesco brand better than those Cap Ayam dunno what brand at the parts shop.

Guys, weird enough. These few days I visited 2 different Tesco outlets and they do not carry much engine oil nowadays. Even there are some engine oils on the shelves but none with popular brands or series! I wonder what happened to the stocks? All sold due to 11.11 sale or our currency issues??

Are engine oil from Lazada online shopping reliable?

Bro, thank you for the info. Today I visited another 1 more established Tesco Extra and Giant, both does not have good branded engine oil with discount. Giant is selling Shell Helix Ultra at 229 (at normal price). I wonder what is the reason that Tesco is not carrying much branded engine oil with promotional price which they normally do. Anybody got insider's news?

Side topic, I think in the rate our country developing, sooner or later we won't get a lot of items in our hypermarket like what we experienced for our engine oils. 

i heard rumours about tesco fully synthetic oils and why they are cheap. They are considered 2nd or 3rd grade fully synthetic. dunno if this is true.. maybe some experts can elaborate?

Or maybe something wrong with Tesco or distributors who supply to Tesco. Or maybe Tesco gets some complaints from these big companies.
I have searched some Shell Helix Oil in Lazada, some got good feedback but the authenticity of these oils are still in doubt. Some I read can verify through sms to a no. But bear in mind, if I would sell counterfeit oil, I would set up the sms system which is not that expensive to invest in- it is just a phone no. with reply.
This may be the end of the good old days. The days to have affordable engine oil no longer exists.
Sigh, I didn't stock a few bottles merely due to do not want to the tie up money with these stocks and headache to keep these oils at home.

Tesco no more selling Mobil 1 or Shell fully synthetic engine oil?

Tesco Paradigm..

Tesco selling Shell Helix Ultra. Imported fr Germany. Bottle cap does not have aluminium seal like the one distributed by Shell Malaysia. Hope it is good oil..

Got meh? Didn't notice. But I know giant will always be cheaper than Tesco.

Did you catch what's the price?

that should be shell hx8 instead of ultra, no?
