Two questions:
1) anyone using bosch premium x7? Is it good considering the price to be quite affordable.
2) The retail price is like 200+ for this oil. However, online official Bosch is selling at RM99 (currently under 9.9 discount). But found this seller at RM66.20 only!! That is so much cheaper. Could it be fake? I mean Bosch oil is considered new player in the market and not even popular. What are the chances of it being fake?

I used this oil last year, bought $99/- at Lazada. Genuine Bosch X7 is no different form most full syn oil. Did 10Kkm ,did not feel any drop in performance.

IMO its not a bad oil if genuine! At $66 , i'm not sure its genuine! Not saying all on line oils are fake, however there is always that danger!

Now switched to Shell UH from Tesco, also $99/-. This for sure is genuine.

Yes bro, I too have been using this oil for few years, on both cars, a turbo and high performance 3liter NA! Both cars OCI is 10kkm. No issues at all. Buying at Tesco/Giant is good value for money! I hope they continue to sell.

Last year tried out Bosch X7. As i said earlier it's good oil, did not find any difference from Shell UX. However switched back to Shell UX cos fake oil on Lazada! Very easy for unsuspecting customer to get trapped! Safer to stick with known source.

It appears you feel oils from Giant/Tesco are fake.

Hi bro. I bought Shell HU online. Have scanned the QR code. It lead to a link:

Selecting the link lead me to shell website:

There is no positive indication of the oil being fake or genuine. What else I need to do?

EO fro Giant original ka?

I don't think Giant will risk selling fake oils. They big and a lot to lose if proved in a legal action.

Same with Lotus ( former Tessco ). I have been using their oil for last 7 years, no problems. Btw one of my cars is a high performance BMW 6 series, also use this oil and no issues. Sometimes Shell UH full syn at Lotus retails at RM90/-

Can use it safely!

the only shortage is the API SN+ on SHU while most now cw SP.

Its ok la, wont hurt your engine. Its not as if the SP is going give super charge performance! The fact is you not even going to notice any difference.

This is just my 2 cents worth!
