HI all....see here

now all can survey engine oil at http://www.lazada.com.my/automotive/?shop-tesco&page=1

see what discount for each engine oil brand and spec to choose and buy for your car.

or walk to your nearest store to purchase.

Branded oils in Lazada from Tesco are Euro spec'ed.
Besides the very basic and minimal specifications of API SL/SM/Sn, most or all branded oils sold in Tesco are from Europe with a stronger Euro specifications in ACEA A3/B4 or C3.
One pays lower price in Tesco for better spec'ed oils as compared against local service station's. tongue.gif
It's really value for money.

Anyway, for fully synthetic maybe you can consider Mobil Super 3000 5W40 SN A3B4 in Aeon Big Subang Jaya..

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..

Aluminium seal, as specially developed and found in Shell Malaysia products, is pure marketing and/or saleman gimmicks for differentiation (from EU Shell products) in package appearance whilst 'inside' is exactly similar, all for 'justifying' their exorbitant and cut throat selling price , victimising consumer pockets .
In layman terminology, this is all bullshit from a local greedy corporate player .

4 years later still you guys talk about it. In fact my 1st post is dated 4 yeads ago.

I have bought one myself and never regretted.
RM 89.90 for a ori retail price of RM 230 oil is bang of the buck.

The reason why Shell Malaysia can't sue Tesco and Giant is because they are bringing in genuine oil also. But they created fake stories about lab testing showed "2 out 10" tested fake.

So What Shell Malaysia did was to create a nonsense ad - Made for Malaysia / Utk Pasaran Malaysia.
Of course this does effective fool some people but in reality, there is no such thing as an oil developed for a specific country.

I have even read some FB comments - "EU oil is for cold country such as UK. Not compatible for our hot country". Nonsense. The 5w40 from EU and the so-called 'Made for Malaysia Market' 5w40 has the same viscosity.

And I bet some would doubt it because of the cheaper price. Its OK. You can goto Shell Station and get it for RM 230 if that satisfies you.

Agree with you on all the bullshits from Shell Malaysia on 'Made for Malaysia' oil adverts , and would love to read public statements in black and white from Shell Malaysia stating clearly that this Helix Ultra VOA from Russia is NOT suitable for Malaysia weathers bla bla bla .
