one thing, there are too many of fake oil in our market, it is really difficult to determine whether it is ori or fake oil from the bottles.
another note, my office colleague just spend almost 7k to overhaul his superbike due to fake Motul Engine oil. the oil will dry up pretty quickly and at the time u notice the engine weird behavior, it already gone.
that is why always buy from SC or Reputable Official Parts distributors. they will advice you if you want ori or 3rd party they won't sell you 3rd party for ori price because the risk of getting exposed is not worth it they are in biz for many decades.
for engine oil, best is bring your own if you plan to change outside workshop. some shops give you genuine, some give you genuine recycled oil, some give you fake. you will never know. sometimes workers cheat when boss not around, sometimes boss cheats.
for a piece of mind, either buy from petrol station (price will be expensive) or big hypermarket/super markets/ACE hardware. their price are low but are from overseas but they have a reputation to maintain.
too bad Tesco now not many choices. for gear & brake fluid, not sure other than parts distributor shop where got sell. ACE got many options you never heard of.
