Tesco Engine Oil Sales is on

[vr2turbo]

RM139.90 for Mobil1 5W50 is a steal. I got some bottles during the last round Tesco promo.
Anyone here ever used Tesco fully syn?

Bro. 6UE5t bought Mobil 1 also. Tesco FS not cheap mah! wanted to try, but even promo time is slightly cheaper only...

Not confident with the Tesco oil. For chemicals like these where we would not know if it's good enough until it's too late, I'd rather stick with well known trusted brands.

I'm ok if trusted brands like Castrol/Mobil/Shell sold on discounts in Tesco, but Tesco own brand I'm not confident.

Hmm 0W40 a bit too thin for me.
Oo Tesco also. Carrefour also sometimes gives such discounts but not as often as Tesco.

No difference here...5W or 0W is for winter...not in Malaysia...
40 weight are normal...a bit heavy for perodua...a bit thin for older cars...

Still different. If you pour 0W40 vs 10W40 for example, you can see/feel the 10W40 still thicker.

The stock I bought was made in 2011 as printed on bottle. Does this explain the price it was sold at?

Most of the shelf life is 5 years for a typical engine oil.
But it also depends on how the stockist put them.
Changes to temperatures might change the oil's characteristic.
Make sure to shake them up before using it.

I'll let my engine shake it..
And my engine temperature are worse that any temperature outside it..


Mine August 2012...still new...

 

[6UE5t]

Yeah, possibly because old stock, but should still be ok if just a few years old.

For the FS Tesco oil to me in not cheap that is why did not try. But the Tesco SS 10w-40 I got cheap.
If not mistaken, one time sold at RM49.90 then second bottle, half price. I am using in my NA Hyundai Sonata III. No complaints about it. Oil from Singapore....

In another forum/topic, there was a discussion on oil expiry date, but no one can come out with an actual answer whether have or not?

Tesco oil selling cheap before the oil imported form EU. Probably they bought cheap in bulk
