Shell car oil occupies a leading position in sales, and at the same time one of the most faded oils. In this regard, in 2016 and in September 2017, the manufacturer has improved the methods of protecting the original oil from the fake. Next, we led photos of comparison of genuine oil with counterfeit and disassembled the old methods of differences and new ones.

The main differences of fake oil from the original

Rough fakes can be defined by canister, traffic jam and labels:

Left - counterfeit. Right - original.

Changes since 2016, checking oil by code on the site

Changes touched oil produced in Russia. First, they were protected by barrels, tested the method and launched the protection into mass production - on the canisters of 4 liters and "lytrushki". All cans with butter walked are marked with a special protective sticker, which is glued on the canister cover.
The sticker consists of two parts - the main and hidden (located under the top). To access the hidden, you need to dig up the top. When rejoicing, it is not possible to glue back. In the second part of the sticker printed the verification code to enter the site was walking - (opens in a new window). When entering the correct code, a message will appear that you bought original oil.

The main sticker has several degrees of protection:

• The upper part overflows into the light. Depending on the corner of the lid, on the original canister, the image of the shell oil logo on the canister image is replaced. In fakes, it is often encountered simply a transfusion image, without changing images.
• Figure under the numbers, on the bottom of the sticker, on the script changes the color from green on gray with the slopes of the canister.
• 4 digits, in the black field, in the original coincide with the last digits in the barcode, on the rear canister label.
• When wetting the water numbers, they change the color from white to pink. And back with pink on white when dried. There are fakes with clear digits. Watch the video, how to distinguish the fake from the original data (unreliable) method.

At the moment there are two types of stickers. On some printed inscription - code under a label. On newest stickers instead of the inscription, the QR code images on one side and the other image of the phone are.

Both labels are real.

Changes in 2017

Since September 2017, there are canisters with a seal made of aluminum. What alarmed buyers. We found out - original canisters.

Oil released since the autumn of 2017, comes with an aluminum seal. Glue applied between the lid and the seal.

On the left - the original 2017 (under the lid, the glue is visible on the aluminum protective seal). Right - fake.

The tear-off ring has changed. The separation line was transferred exactly in the middle and slightly increased the distance between the lid and the tear-off ring. Below are the covers of the original canister with Shell oil. One release until 2017, the second is produced since 2017 (the tear-off ring has already become already, the border of the rupture has become more visible and runs exactly in the middle of the lower skirt of the lid).

On both photographs original oil. On top of a new sample (2017). Lower photo - until 2017.

Distinctive features in the influx, rough grinders, on new canices (since 2017) are not relevant.

Output

Oils walked in the original possess good lubricants and protective functions for car engines, and what they pour into fake cans, it remains only to guess. Therefore, add instructions to bookmarks and make the right choice. The manufacturer took care of the protection of its product at the highest level, the main thing is to use all the methods to determine the fake shell oil.
In conclusion, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the video, how to check the oil on the originality using the code on the canister and phone lid. In the example, check the original canister and fake.

Like many other types of premium oils for engines, the products of the shell manufacturer very often becomes the object of fakes and falsification. Shell Helix Ultra is one of the branded developments, ideally suitable for any car brands, which also has a distinguished from other packaging.

It is through the packaging to most drivers manage to distinguish the original oil from the fake.

Knowledge of mechanisms and methods of protecting the shell manufacturer of its products from fakes is a good way for the driver to protect against the acquisition of a poor-quality product, which leads to the loss of funds, as well as to breakdowns and loss by the engine performance.

Shell Helix Oil Ultra has wonderful cleaning properties, good performance characteristics at low temperatures, and also completely in all areas protect the engine parts from wear.

She has repeatedly proved its effectiveness in the engine, giving it positive qualities and reducing fuel consumption. Having balanced parameters, the oil retains the name of the developer's company, also remains one of the most sought-after in the world. This can characterize Shell oil.

It is worth noting that the company constantly supports the level of lubricant quality, which allows it to not lose the image in front of its customers, as well as increase the demand for the rapidly developing market. Shell engineers constantly have to improve product quality.

Unfortunately, lubricants from this and other large companies are often formed quite close to the original, so that in some cases it is impossible to distinguish the counterfeit until the moment of use. And after the oil has already fallen into the engine, the consequences of irreversible, it is necessary to re-merge and pour oil, or, even worse, repair and give the engine to different manipulations to return the previous characteristics.

In the fight against this phenomenon, Shell, like other grants of automotive oil production, improve the quality of protection against fake and falsification of their own product, establish new standards that allow motorists to be confident in auto and guarantee their long, long-term operation.

Domestic fakes

Shell oil, which, due to its quality, has a fairly high price, is popular with some domestic motorists, but many are advantageous than cheaper lubricants. The desire to save is playing an evil joke with drivers, because it causes more harm.

The fact is that to do the domestic lubricant stamps is much simpler, so experienced motorists are trying not to save on oil, which allows you to increase the operation time of the car and the quality of its service, making a bet not at a lower price, but on high quality and duration of work.

Indeed, the better than the oil, the less the breakdowns are happening, thanks to which shell oil, on which the car works for several years in a row, is much better and more economically, the cheap oil of domestic production or its analogue.

As a result of fakes of domestic oil brands, many motorists suffer from the fact that it is difficult to check and determine the original, since even the packaging of most of them does not have properly protective elements.

As a result of the use of fake oil Shell Helix ultra, the details wear faster, the engine receives damage and fails much more often, the repair is much more expensive.

What are the differences between Helix Helix Ultra 5W40 and 5W30?

You can distinguish the authenticity of the oil in the following parameters:

cover with a control skirt;

facial side canister;

chemical analysis.

Cover with check skirt

Skirt from the bottom of the lid and the so-called tear-off ring, which should protect the oil from fakes, performs the function of the seal. If the tear-off ring is in place, it was not damaged, then this is a sign of the original oil.

If, on the contrary, only the visual skirt looks the whole, but not really attached to the lid, then most likely a fake driver, not the original Shell Helix Ultra.

It is worth understanding that when opening the canister, the tear-off ring has only one-time use and easily removes at the first opening. If the cheap oil tried to pour into the canister - it is the tear-off ring should have traces of such an attempt.

The second indicator of quality testing on the lid is that it is absolutely smooth on top - it concerns all 4 liters packs, regardless of the place of production, and they are now produced in Russia and the European Union.

Facial side of the canister

On the front of the packaging there should always be a high-quality label, it must have the following properties:

• First, it should not be disconnected, should be tightly glued to the walls of the packaging, and any detachment indicate an attempts to cross;
• Second, texts and images on the facial label should be very conveniently read. If the text is blurred, then most likely the driver sees the craft.
• It is also worth paying attention to the logo - if it does not have a special coating in the form of spraying, which causes the effect of culmination, it is worth alert, because in the original oil Shell Helix Ultra there is such a spraying. It cleans the light like a silver hologram.

Chemical analysis

In fact, Himanaliz is the only way to make sure that the oil is due to the qualities. It is the analysis of the composition carried out in laboratory conditions, can establish whether the oil is really high-quality.

This method takes some time, and also costs, especially if you do a very detailed analysis. Moreover, it is not always possible to rely on any laboratory that may not be intended to analyze lubricants and petroleum products.

But the amount of impurities and viscosity in different temperature conditions can still be checked.

BUY follows from official dealers

The best way to avoid fakes Shell Helix Ultra is to buy from official representative offices.

Therefore, it is better to know any driver to know proven places and sellers who can offer only the highest quality shell oil released from the company's conveyor.

One of the most popular petrochemical products in the global market is Shell's products. For many years of its existence, she won the leading lines in the ratings of the most efficient lubricants. The range of the company is constantly growing, therefore, even one marking of the engine oil may be several varieties. Consider what lubricants Shell manufactures 5W40 with label and what is their difference.

• How 5W40 is decrypted

  Averaged oil performance ranges

  Before switching to the varieties and properties of products of world nevertigigant, we will understand in the label of 5W40 - what does it mean? Marking refers to the international standard SAE, which shares all lubricants into three groups - winter, summer and all-season.

  Winter lubricants are denoted by the digit and letter W (for example, 0W, 5W, 10W). They characterize the viscosity of the lubricant and the operating temperature range. Going beyond its limits, oil will lose its properties. In our case, 5W labeling fluid is capable of functioning from -35 to 0 degrees Celsius.

  The summer lubricant in the marking there are only double-digits - 20, 30, 40. They also inform, within what temperatures, the lubricant will keep stability. The only difference is that the working capacity of summer oil is maintained only in the conditions of "positive" temperatures. The index 40 suggests that the supplies can be used from 0 to +45 degrees Celsius.

  Universal lubricants combine the indicators of winter and summer opportunities. They can be used at any time of the year. It greatly facilitates the life of car owners, because no longer needed to follow the weather.

  The Shell 5W40 motor oil under consideration is working properly in the temperature range from -35 to +45 degrees. Therefore, it is possible to use it almost in all corners of Russia.

  Varieties of oils

  The company produces five varieties of motor oils with labeling 5W40 to the world market. Let us dwell on each of them in more detail.

  Shell Helix Ultra.

  

  Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40

  This engine oil has a completely synthetic basis. It is intended for engines of passenger cars operating on gasoline or diesel fuel. In addition to its main task, the petroleum product provides effective purification of the engine compartment from pollutants. Even if you forgot the oil replacement on time, it will keep stability for a long time. However, this does not mean that it should be intentionally increasing the intersavice interval. The recommended frequency of replacement of this lubricant is every 10,000 mileage kilometers.

  Benefits

  Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 has the following advantages:

  • low evaporation. Because The oil includes only artificial ingredients with increased resistance to temperature changes, the petroleum product will be exhibited economically (subject to the preservation of the system's tightness).
  • increase the power characteristics of the engine and reduced fuel consumption. The machine creates a durable oil layer on the details, the thickness of which eliminates the gaps, but does not prevent the free move of the mechanisms. As a result, the maximum productivity of the unit is achieved with minimal effort.
  • troubleshooting and cleansing the working surface. The engine oil of the Shell of this species is struggling with perennial sediments resulting from the use of an improper lubricant. In a short period of time, the lubricant washes from a third-party garbage from the system and provides it with reliable protection against repeated formations.

  Tolerances

  Automotor meets the following requirements: API SN / CF, VW 502.00, 505.00, MV 229.5, 226.5, ASEA A3 / B3, A3 / B4, Porsche A40, BMW LL-01, PSA B712296.
  

  Shell Helix HX8 5W40

  Another kind of engine oil with a synthetic composition. It is produced using PurePlus technology, which provides for the creation of highly efficient lubricants from natural gas. Oil is absolutely harmless to the environment, because It has no sulfur and phosphorus.

  Lubricant is focused on modern power plants operating from gasoline, gas or diesel fuel.

  Benefits

  The advantages of Helix can be attributed to:

  • stable viscosity. Artificial components of engine oil provide him with "immunity" against temperature differences. Lubrication retains performance in all weather conditions, not losing its performance, and calmly transfers sharp temperature differences. In winter, the petroleum product provides instant filling of the system and prevent the oil starvation of the engine.
  • reducing noise. After the long-term operation of the engine installation, the gaps between the elements increase significantly, which leads to the formation of unnecessary noise under the hood. 5В40 This kind of motor work is significantly quieter.
  • prevalence. You can meet this oil in any car store. Therefore, difficulties with his search will not arise. Such popularity of petroleum products is explained by its versatility - it is possible to pour this oil into many modern engines.

  Tolerances

  The product has the following tolerances: API SN / CF, VW 502.00, 505.00, MV 229.3, RENAULT RN0700, 0710, ASEA A3 / B3, A3 / B4.

  Shell Helix HX7 5W40

  

  Shell Helix HX7 5W-40

  This petroleum product refers to the category of semi-synthetic. Despite the presence of natural ingredients in it, it has increased stability and excellent technical characteristics.

  In contrast to synthetics, effectively removing perennial deposits, the semi-synthetic material more gently affects the working surface of the force structure. As a result, the engine receives gentle protection against subsequent accumulation of deposits.

  Developed Shell Helix HX7 5W40 oil for gasoline, diesel and gas aggregates of passenger cars. It can be used in motors operating from ethanol mixtures and biodiesel.

  Benefits

  Advantages of semi-synthetic lubricant Shell Helix:

  • excellent performance. It has a wide range of operating temperatures. This allows it to function properly both in the winter and in the summer.
  • eliminating unnecessary noise and design vibrations. A pleasant "rumbling" of the engine compartment is achieved.
  • reducing the consumption of fuel mixture and preventing corrosion formation inside the power plant.

  Tolerances

  To the tolerances of this variety of oils include: API Sn / CF, GM LL-A / B-025, JASO SG +, ASEA A3 / B3, A3 / B4, VW 502.00, 505.00, MV 229.3.
  

  Shell Helix Ultra Diesel 5W40

  This type of lubricant is designed specifically for turbocharged diesel engines with intermediate cooling. It has a synthetic foundation that provides oil maintaining initial qualities throughout the interethal interval.

  Benefits

  The advantages of such diesel oil should include:

  • increased endurance. Lubrication is designed specifically for those cars that are operated in harsh conditions: with too low and excessively high temperatures, at large distances on the SUND, with long-term operation at elevated circulation.
  • economical consumption. Despite the fact that the power plant works at the limit of the possibilities, the oil is consumed moderately, does not burn and leaves no avail.
  • effective protection of mechanisms. Frequent overloads under normal conditions cause rapid wear of parts. But not in this case. The composition is instantly distributed over the working nodes, creating a durable protective layer on their surfaces. It is saved throughout the operation of the car.

  Tolerances

  Oil meets the following requirements: ASEA B3 / B4, A3 / B3, A3 / B4, FIAT 9.55535 Z2, API CF, BMW LL-01, MV 229.5, VW 505 00.

  

  Shell Helix Ultra Professional AV 5W-40

  The peculiarities of this oil consist in its increased resistance to evaporation, low evaporation and ability to significantly save the fuel mixture. It is difficult to find the petroleum product on the shelves. In view of the high cost, it does not use much popularity. However, the lubricant is perfectly coping with the functions assigned to it and contributes to an increase in the power characteristics of the power plant.

  The basis of the species is the high-quality synthetics produced by PurePlus technology. Oil is intended for ultra-modern power plants working on gasoline and diesel. Actual for foreign cars, such as Skoda, Volkswagen, Hyundai.

  Benefits

  The advantages of lubricant should include:

  • excellent performance. Shell provides a lightweight scrolling of the crankshaft at low temperatures, instant distribution over the system and the formation of a reliable protective layer on the details.
  • low content of harmful components in the composition of oil. It does not have sulfur, phosphorus and chlorine, which indicates the safety of fuel and securities for the atmosphere.
  • effective elimination of contaminants from the engine's working area.

  Tolerances

  Shell Helix Ultra Professional AV 5W40 meets the following standards: API SN / CF, ASA A3 / B3 / B4, MV 229.5, VW 502.00, 505.00, Porsche A40.

  How to distinguish fake?

  

  Differences of the original and fake SHELL engine oil

  Unfortunately, falsified products are present in the domestic market. Eliminate your car from it can be enough to follow some rules.

  Stop buying technical lubricants at doubtful sales points. This applies not only to engine oil. Before you go to the store, do not be lazy to look at the manufacturer's official website and get acquainted with its branded outlets. Only there you can purchase the present engine oil.

  Request quality certificates. The presence of confirming the quality of documents indicates the authenticity of petroleum products. Those stores that refuse them to provide or refer to a large amount of work and "the impossibility of now finding the necessary documents now," 90 percent cases are implemented by counterfeit. Ready to risk and pour under the hood incomprehensible Zip? Forward, but the repair will then come out in a round sum. It is better to spend more time and strength, but find the outlet, ready to confirm the quality of the engine oil.

  Carefully examine the goods before purchased. Even if the documents are all right, it will not be superfluous to make a visual inspection of the canister. Pay attention to the presence of chips, cracks, production defects. They all talk about the manipulations of fraudsters. The global neldelegant, who earned a reputation as a better manufacturer of lubricants, will not allow to produce goods in improper performance.

  Also pay attention to the fixing ring. If it is damaged, you should refuse to buy. Under the cover when opening, you must detect a special fill with the manufacturer's logo.

  Check the shelf life. Even if the packaging is in perfect condition, and the seller documented the quality of petroleum products, it is necessary to check the shelf life of the oil. It is indicated on the back of the container. There should be no liquid with an unspecified shelf life.
  

  And finally

  Shell products confirms their high quality daily. She enjoy millions of car owners, thanks to which the company seeks to meet the needs of even more power plants. All considered types of shell oils with labeling 5W40 have excellent operational qualities. They are able to raise the resource of the motor, increase its power, ensure easy launch in the frost, and also remove the system from polluting elements. However, if the lubricant is selected by the car owner incorrectly, then to feel all the advantages of the petroleum product will be impossible. He, on the contrary, will adversely affect the motor installation. To protect your car from expensive repairs, you should carefully study the requirements of the automaker before purchasing certain engine oils.

Good afternoon, dear car owners. This article will be useful for those who now fill into the engine of their car, or those who only plan to use such oil!

Unfortunately, today the market is so big that the fakes occurs a huge set and pick up real oil is quite difficult. The "black" market has not bypassed the famous manufacturer of Shell motor oils. Fake Shell oil is often found quite. Here the key role was played by a wide demand for this oil. There is a demand - there is a proposal. It is a pity that among the proposed products, fake oil shell is far from uncommon. After reading this article, you can easily distinguish fake shell oil from the present And on time to give up the purchase of fake. By the way, while I wrote an article, a man came and began to seek distinctive signs together.

The shell manufacturer tries to protect the consumer from buying fake oil, but "pirates" also do not stand and keep up with the times. Now we will tell you how to pay attention to when buying Shell's engine oil so as not to get to the fake.

1. The first thing to pay attention to is the shape of the canister. New Kanister Shell has some differences from the previous one. Namely, the new canister is now two handles. One handle on the present canister Shell is located on top, and the other side. This is done so that the buyer can comfortably transport the canister and to facilitate the pouring of the real shell oil into the car engine.

2. The following important difference is corn canister. Now it has become much shorter and already in the previous canister. The diameter of the neck should be strictly 43 mm. The lid itself also underwent some changes, namely, its size decreased. Note the lack of valve on the lid. Now it is not and should not be. The cover fits tightly to the locking ring, which when opening should remain on the torn canister.

Protective film Under the lid of the real canister of Shell may not be. This is due to the transition process to a new canister, so the absence or presence of a protective film under the lid canister does not define the belonging to the shell oil to fake or real. Pay attention to it.

3. Label canister. In comparison with the old version, the canisters of Shell changed and the label both in front of the canister and behind. The label visually increased by 40% and takes almost all the free space of the real shell canister.

4. Color of real shell canister. All shell products come in four-colors cannors: yellow, blue, gray and red. There are no other colors of the present products. Therefore, if you see, for example, the green canister of Shell, you can safely go away, as this is a fake. And do not even try to listen to the arguments of the seller speaking, that this is the next rebranding of the real canister of Shell.

5. Well, the last thing you need to pay attention is the codewhich is printed on the back of the shell canister. The code should be picky, but since the technology of application application on the real shell canister is very simple and primitive, then often in the process of motor oil packing it can be lubricating it. Still, this kind of inkjet printer is applied. But when the paint dries away - it is almost impossible to wash it. Check and this. The code consists of a party, time, time and date of product packaging. The normative shelf life of the engine oil is 5 years. If you looked at the code and took the oldest date enough, then it is better to refuse such an oil from buying such an oil.

It's all. Now you know, how to distinguish real oil shell from fake. But do not forget that the best protection against counterfeit is the purchase of Shell oil in already proven places. We always follow the quality of our products and offer our customers only

The modern auto chemical market affects their variety of proposed motor oils. In such a large number of proposals, not only newcomers are confused, but also experienced motorists. Advertising each of the manufacturers states that its products are the best. Try to figure it out where the truth is here, and where is a lie.

One of the best products represented by the attention of domestic motorists is the Shell Helix Ultra 5W30 and 5W40 Motor Oil Motor Oil, HX8 modifications. This is a completely synthetic product. For its production, a new technology was used, due to which the basic composition of Shell PurePlus is obtained from natural gas, that is, light hydrocarbons.

There are also modifications of HX7 (semi-synthetic) and eats (synthetics). Due to the high quality and price of the market there are counterfeit products with such name. It is getting difficult to distinguish the fake from the original - the fraudsters learned the most accurately copy the original canisters. Nevertheless, there are still inconsistencies.

Basic properties

The technology of obtaining base oil from pure natural gas Shell Pureplus guarantees its purity and the absence of any impurities in its composition. In this - a fundamental difference from the lungs of oil fractions, which are extracted during its distillation. There are paraffins and aromatic substances, phosphorus, as well as sulfur. Fully remove them still does not work, a small part remains.

The additive package is also developed in Shell and is unique patented compositions designed to provide the best quality for servicing internal combustion engines. Oil Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 and 5W30 can be applied to atmospheric, turbocharged, multiclap, as well as injection motor and diesel engines. At the same time, they can work on any fuel, including natural gas. Oil compositions provide the highest possible protection against wear and extension of the operation of motors. Prevent rapid wear of engines when moving in the city cycle "Start-Stop".

Classification on the American standard API - SN / CF. This means that the Shell Helix Ultra 5W30 and 5W40 motor oil can be used in the latest engines, as it is a product of Low SAPS, which does not contain harmful impurities. It provides a "clean" exhaust, also lubricant is energy-saving. It has increased requirements in terms of wear resistance. The oil is fully compatible with the engine glands and gaskets. It can be used instead of lubricants of previous classes - SM, SL.

Shell Helix Ultra 5W40, according to the European Specification ASA, has Classes A3 / B3, A3 / B4. This means that the oil fluid is resistant to oxidative processes, as well as to the mechanical destruction of the oil film. It can be used with increased intervals between the replacements of the lubricant. Successfully used in forced gasoline and diesel engines with direct fuel injection.

Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 oil received tolerances to the world's largest manufacturers - Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, BMW, Renault, Ferrari, Porsche, Fiat, Crysler. This is already talking about many things. This is the only oil composition that has approved Ferrari.

Based on the foregoing, as well as a fairly high price of oil compositions of Shell production, there are many fake oil on the market, naturally, much worse quality. How to distinguish a fake from the original? This question is now relevant than ever.

Originals and fakes

Consider how the shell Helix Ultra 10W-40 and 5W-40 oil production can be distinguished, production of 2015 production, how to distinguish fakes from originals. At the beginning of this year, rebranding canister and labels to them occurred.

On the presented picture on the left - the canister of the old design, and on the right - the new, 2015. As you can see, the labels canister Shell differ. For example, on the presented shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 canister, the cylinder image has changed. As he should look now - consider in detail below. There are also old-sample cans on sale, as the shelf life of the engine oil is 5 years.

Difference in labels

On the labels you can distinguish the fake. If you look at Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 - all letters and images are clear, printed qualitatively, not smeared and not doubly. If you see the instruction written in different languages \u200b\u200band printed on the rear label - it can be distinguished. For fake, it has no centering. The original 2015 contains text printed strictly in the center. The letters denoting the manufacturer's country, on the fake labels are printed poorly, it can be seen by the naked eye.

Special attention is the cylinder logo on the front label. The inscription PurePlus Technology on the original canister of 2015 can be distinguished by a mirror glitter that forms a special spraying. The cylinder also has a mirror effect. There is no such reflection on counterfeit products, it is hard to fake.

Label, located behind the chalet 5W-40 2015 canister, two-layer, but it is unnoticed. It opens only when it is contacted in the area indicated by the arrow. At the same time, no traces of gluing should be, otherwise it is a fake.

There may be a discrepancy between the barcode. The first 3 digits, for example, scammers are left for 501. This means that the oil is manufactured in the European Union. But then Made in Russia can be printed. Full nonsense, on the original there should be an inscription: Made in EU. In addition, the party number in the fake can be easily erased with your finger. In the original container it will not work.

Differences in Canister

What are the difference between the covers

The lid must be exactly the same shade as the canister. The cover material is more dense and solid than the walls of the tank. The lid along with the skirt located under it must be one. Any perforation or separation line is unacceptable, otherwise it is a fake product. The surface of the cover itself is smooth. If rough, then it is counterfeit.

When autopsy, the lid should separate immediately, without effort and distortion, when the part broke away, and the other part is not. This should not happen. In the product that was produced in the European Union, there is no gasket under the lid, pure neck. The oil composition produced in Russia has a white cardboard membrane under the tube. If there is a foil - it is definitely falsification.

conclusions

It is necessary to acquire engine oil only in large specialized stores. To buy in the markets, in the stalls and small dubious points is not worth it - the likely to get to the falsification. Even buying a lubricant in a proven store, it will not be superfluous to carefully check the label and canister on the above features. Remember - the bay is a poor-quality lubrication composition, you will quickly kill the engine. Therefore, the acquisition of motor fluid should be given as responsibly as possible.
