Already many months ago Tesco stopped selling Mobil, Total, Elf, Shell, & Repsol and now only has Castrol, Dynolube and Tesco brand. I wonder why, sigh...

Would a multinational global shopping chain sell poor quality oil? Even if they did they wouldn't sell Shell / Pennzoil / Castrol branded names because these oil and gas companies would sue the socks off these shopping chains.

They buy huge bulk overseas usually EU region and because they buy huge bulk, their price quite low. Then globally distribute and hey presto you have cheap oil to buy.

Indeed, this is what they are doing now since the freight and other cost from EU back to here is cheap..

Where did you see with damaged packing? All these while what I saw, was all good, in fact a whole rack of them all in good packing. As for online you have to check out the seller....
