Engine Oil from Tesco

[vr2turbo]

In that case is it safe for use in Malaysia??
Especially with our type of climate..

For Engine oil, it is not where it came from but what viscosity of the oil. For Malaysian hot weather, any 30 or 40 weight oil can be used, hence the Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40 can be use for our weather...

i used to buy 20w-50 oil from Tesco for some of the old cars i have in yard, its ok and usable..no complaint so far..now i had a new supplier so switched to a local brand and happy with it.

wah...good...one more place for me to shop for engine oil...

If shopping for engine oil in Tesco, wait for their promo. Can be their own Tesco brand oil or the others major brands. Those that they sell are Castrol Magnetec, Shell Helix HX5 and Tesco in Semi Synthetic blend, and Shell Helix Ultra, Mobil 1 and Castrol Edge in Full Synthetic....

Its a bit silly to ask, but just for curiousity sake....

Do engine oil has got expiry date?

Sometimes when promo, are they clearing the old stock?

i think no if its not open, but im not really sure

but the oil is quite new, 16 august 2012

Yup, that day saw the Tesco own brand oil (the SS one) selling now for RM85, used to be RM56 and on offer, like RM49 only.....

i usually go for castrol magnatec 4L & surprisingly they do sell 1L as well, & great becos i need 5L.
sparepart shops dun sell 1L.

recently Tesco selling not only Shell but also Castrol, Total and Mobil1 full synthetic at RM145.00
I have asked Shell Trading Malaysia and they claimed that these engine oil has no warranty from them but I don't know what kind of warranty are they talking about.

To me, oil are the same, only different is the addictive but I think if usable in Europe then should be fine. The most important is the viscosity, malaysia weather any W30/W40 would be safe to use. I don't really care about the number infront, 0W or 5W doesn't makes any different to Malaysia.
