Good day! I have a hurry to report that Mobil introduced a new degree of protection of its products from fakes! Now you can distinguish fake oil mobile with a simple ultraviolet lamp! This news most likely grieves the company that trades counterfeit products. However, it is worth noting that the Mobile Company itself has not announced this information anywhere. Recently, I myself did not know about it and noticed immediately.

For example, take two ordinary canisters with Mobil Super 3000 5W-40 oil, which is currently one of the most sought-after oils in our region. On the left was released on 07/24/15, on the right - 07/04/16. Both canisters are original products, not counterfeit. We will need an ultraviolet flashlight. I took advantage of what was at hand, namely the banknotes detector with an ultraviolet lamp for 4W. Turn off the light and see this picture:

From the second half of 2016, all official distributors of the Mobile brand in the regions of Russia began to receive canisters with updated labels, the individual elements of which are covered with an invisible ultraviolet fluorescent pigment. With day or artificial light, this paint does not appear in any way, except for small thickens in the area of \u200b\u200bthe letter "o" in the brand logo and around the viscosity of the engine oil. But it is worth armed with an ultraviolet flashlight, as these elements begin to glow.

The innovation is available for products issued at the Mobil plant in Naantali (Finland). The city code is denoted by the letter N at the beginning of the alphanumeric code on the canister.

However, it is not necessary to immediately worry if you have not seen glowing characters on the canister label. A complete transition to a new degree of protection is scheduled for the second half of 2017. In the meantime, there will be a regular label on store shelves, as well as improved protection.

Of course, the new oil protection mobile from fake is well invented. But will it be convenient to visit the store with a UV flashlight to reveal a fake? What do you think? Write your answer in the comments to this article! That's all, thanks for your attention to new meetings on our website!

Barcode refers to information in the form of strips of white and black. All information is encrypted, and has decoding with numbers. Before buying engine oil, it is recommended to check it on the barcode.

Online check

A modern man can enjoy all the joys of life. For this there are many programs on phones that help to check the authenticity of the goods on the bar code, the engine oil is suitable for checking. Some manufacturers made special programs, only under their product. These include brands Castrol, Motul.

On the Internet you can use online barcode checks. Immediately need to notice that it is impossible to know exactly about the authenticity of the product. Motor oil barcode can show only the place of production, plant and release date. Several visual examples:

1. Code G472405 - Mobile Oil 1 Fuel Economy, Made 07/25/14 in France.
2. Code N560429 - Engine oil Mobile 1 New life 0W-40, 4 l canister, made 08.06.15 in Finland.

If during the purchase of oil it is impossible to check it right away, then it is not necessary to hurry to pour it into the engine. On the Internet you can see the main differences in specific manufacturers. To do this, you can use the container from under the oil, according to which the fake can be seen.

Fake motor oil is improved all the time, it is now difficult to distinguish it from the original, even with the help of programs that barcode read. Be sure to look at the canister, because for its high-quality manufacturing it is necessary for expensive and accurate equipment, and there are no such scammers.

To eliminate the purchase and fill of the fake engine oil is possible subject to several rules:

1. Car lubers do not need to chase suspiciously low price.
2. When buying an oil in a canister, you need to understand all levels of protecting the manufacturer and containers. This will help determine the fake from the original.
3. Buying oils in retail networks It is necessary to use points that conclude agreements with official partners. This will help you buy a quality product.
4. The seller should always have certificates that they give representatives of a specific brand.
5. Any oil replacement to do at proven stations.

The use of fake oil does not provide the desired properties, the engine nodes are quickly wearing, the pressure decreases, but the car owner does not notice the instruments. In winter, there is a risk that the car will not start.

Recently, more and more mass cases of Mobil Mobil Oil Magnifiers are 0W40 and others. Forgery, however, it is easy to distinguish from real lubrication with certain knowledge.

The fact is that on the packings of the original oil and on forgery there are some elements, inscriptions, as well as the packaging themselves may have other signs.

Despite this, the fakes appear increasingly, due to the popularity of Mobil engine oil. The presence in the market of motor lubricants of a large amount of products of this manufacturer causes great confidence from car owners.

Accordingly, buying this oil, most of the drivers do not even suggest that they bought a fake. The fact that the engine falsifies falsification Mobile, sometimes it remains unnoticed at all, although the attentive driver will immediately notice the differences in the technical characteristics, as well as the operational qualities of the car, which deteriorate.

As a rule, this is due to the fact that the falsified oil is less qualitative and does not own the properties that the original owns.

There are several tips on how to distinguish the fake from the original and not to get into the fishing rod of falsifiers.

Signs of fakes

You can identify fake oil for a number of external signs available on banks:

• Signs that the driver is fake, not the original mobile oil, may be the presence of an incomplete address of the manufacturer on the label - if the address is not fully specified, then it is definitely a fake. Although in some cases even the complete indication of the details does not guarantee the quality of the oil.
• Mobil motor lubricants are not poured into transparent tanks, so any translucent banks also indicate fakes.
• An important feature of the original is the quality calculation of labels. The labels skled throughout the area should fit tightly to the walls of the tank, and the presence of air bubbles or the detachment may indicate the falsification of products.
• Some experts recommend picking oil in tanks without labels, where all details and the necessary information are directly on the bottle surface. But gras 0W40, 5W30, 10W 40 and other popular Mobil brands are not produced in such pure plastic bottles, although some of the information on the plastic itself is still indicated.

• An important feature of the original is a hologram that helps protect product quality. At the same time, it should be qualitatively glued, in another case, an uncomputed hologram may indicate a fake.
• Also important properties of the original packaging is its tightness, and the control sticker should be on the lid. The breakdown rings on the lids must be holistic, then inside the bottle, the original product.
• If the plastic packaging is quite worn, damaged - this indicates poor-quality plastic, which is used by falsifiers. In the original packs Mobil, even old worn bottles have a sufficiently durable structure, so they look much better even after a large period of storage in adverse conditions.

A good method to avoid fake is the purchase of oil, made no more than 2 months ago, as the fake of labels and packages, as a rule, takes some time, then the falsified oil is sold with a pouring date about half-year prescription.

Mobil steps in the fight against fakes

Mobil offers several ways to protect customers from falsified products:

The company proposes first of all to pay attention to the capacitance cover in which there is a special pillowing can in original packages - it is very difficult for falsification, so there is no fakes.

• In addition, on the lid, the manufacturer indicates the opening scheme, which does not happen on fakes. This will help recognize the fake, if the store is not allowed to open the packaging.
• Also on the traffic jam there is a protective skirt - it should be the same color as the lid itself. The color of the canister should be silver-gray, and not dark - this is the designer idea of \u200b\u200bthe company.
• The rear label under the barcode has a white-red arrow - pulling out this edge of the label, you can see the other label with the text below it. The first sticker back is not glued after the separation. There is no such system in the crafts
• The quality of the front sticker printing is very high, so that all the inscriptions can be clearly clearly, including the car at the bottom - if the inscriptions on it are blurred and fuzzy, then most likely Mobil has no relation to the manufacture of this label.
• At the bottom of the canister squeezed out the Batch code - the party number on the plastic, which begins with the letter N or G.

In any case, the best protection against fakes should be considered the purchase from official sellers and partners of the company. Therefore, it is worth alert if Mobil oil is offered at competitive prices and in poor quality containers.

06/16/2016 Recently, the number of fake goods on store shelves is increasing. Despite the fact that there is an active struggle with the falsification of products, the counterfeit industry is only growing. The problem of fakes and identification of goods touched the segment of motor oils. Recently, four workshops that produced oils that simulate the products of popular brands Mobil, Shell, Total, Elf and others were identified in the suburbs.

When the engine oil is selected, you need to pay attention to the following product properties. First, this is a viscosity of SAE. The indicator is recorded in this form: 5W30, 5W60, 10W4, etc. The first digit shows the low-temperature viscosity of the oil, and the second - viscosity at high temperature. The second important property is the basis of the product (in other words, basic oil). Oil bases differ in oxidation resistance, and this quality depends on how long the oil will work in the engine without replacement.

It is also worth paying attention to whether the product is consistent with the classification of the American Institute of Oil API and Association of Cars of Europe ACEA.

Belonging to one or another class demonstrates the level of operational properties of oil.

But no matter how carefully the buyer has studied the composition of the product and did not pay attention to its certification, the likelihood of encountering the counterfeit oil is large.

Common ways to protect the goods, whether it is a special canister, marking, a label or hologram, sled. Various holograms and holographic tapes are ineffective due to the lack of the test bodies and end consumers of the standard of this holographic protection in order to compare the potential fake with the sample. Moreover, unscrupulous manufacturers copy the Matrix of the hologram of any complexity in two weeks.

Car enthusiasts use new methods for checking goods to counterfeit: study stickers on packages, focusing on special criteria; Compare the quality of printing labels.
Such methods for checking goods on originality can take a long time, and the effectiveness of some of them is in doubt.
