Yes, they are also selling the so called Honda Genuine Oil. I've spoken to an authorized Honda Stockist and they informed me that even their cost price from Honda can't match Owl's Station's engine oil pricing.

So I assume they are selling fakes unless they can inform or educate users on how they can sell it so cheap.

I can't seem to find Owl Station the cheap engine oil seller on Lazada.

Is he still around or business shutdown after fake engine oil factory got raided?

I really wonder why they don't carry any xW-30 weight oil?

Usually newer cars are recommended by manufacturers to use xW20 or xW30 engine oil.

They are one of the 6 or 8 authorized official Honda stockist in Malaysia. Their products are 100% genuine. However, they do sell taiwan made parts but they will inform you first whether you want ori or OEM.

I normally visit the spareparts shop near my house. They are called Bay Brothers at section 8 PJ. Although not authorized Honda stockist, they do sell Honda oil and parts.

I just bought the Honda SN0W30 fully synthetic oil from a famous spare parts shop. The packaging looks as if it was fake as circulated from forums and FB.

However, I do have the left over of some oil from the previous oil change which I bought from authorized Honda stockist.

After comparing both oil visually on card board, the smell, the color, the viscosity and others.. They are virtually the same thing. I totally can't differentiate them. Thus, I assume it is the original stuff.

Sometimes, I wonder whether those packaging which people says it is fake is true or not. Packaging, printing etc might change if they change the printing supplier.

yes.

Owl station reputation was bad. They don't sell on Shopee anymore since many proclaimed their oil are fake.

Do you guys think Paulhew selling engine oil at Shopee are genuine?

To me, it seems quite genuine as many are repetitive customers.

My brother has bought quite a few engine oil from Paulhew ranging from Perodua, Nissan and Petronas oil. So far all seems legit.

I will buy from Paulhew next round since the price is very good. For Petronas Syntium 3000, spare parts shops are selling RM145 but Paulhew are selling it at RM116.

Since the online official Bosch is already selling it cheap at RM99, I think better get from Bosch rather than the anonymous seller which sells at RM62.

I used to buy the Honda's top line engine oil from Hingan. Back then, the red cap engine oil (SN0w30) use to cost only RM145 as compared to SC selling at RM200.

I decided to stop buying engine oil from Hingan when the price increased till RM160 (I think).

How much is Giant selling the HX8 5w30 now?

I've already decided to use the Shell HX8 5w30 for my next oil change.. Reason being, the oil dye colour of this engine oil is quite translucent and looks quite clear.

I know I will be able to identify that it is genuine oil just by looking at how clear the oil colour is... If it's recycled oil, it should be in gold brownish colour.

How did I know of this.. beginning of the year, I bought the HX8 and replace the engine oil on a MYVI. I had trouble checking the dipstick level because they oil colour is too light and translucent. I need to really be under the sunlight and flip the dipstick around to see the oil liquid level.

If it's recycled oil, I bet they can't achieve these sort of colour.

At least it lower the chances of getting used recycled oil lor. Minyak masak is gold colour ma... Not transparent.

Our Malaysia black market recycled oil are inferior as compared to EU.

EU madate all engine oil manufacturers to use recycled oil but woth newly added additives to ensure quality.

Where are you getting your engine oil now bro?

Just want to share some info.

I always buy engine oil from a same reputable seller at Shopee. Already bought 3 bottles of Shell HX8 'Untuk Pasaran Malaysia" that came with QR code and alphabets verification.

I've compared these 3 QR and alphabets are all different between these 3 bottles. To me, it seem genuine as fake oils will only use 1 printing throughout all their supply.

Paulhew.

I think Shell Malaysia are forced to implement this method because fake oil are quite rampant in Malaysia especially counterfeiting Shell engine oil.

It's a good deterrent I would say.

Usually the main difference between HX8 vs Helix Ultra is the base oil being used.

I believe the HX8 is using Group III (highly refined) base oil whereas Helix Ultra is using PAO base oil.
