Tesco Engine Oil Sales is on

[humongousgravy]

I bought Castrol Magnatec from Tesco yesterday as well. Couldn't find the plastic/aluminium seal inside, and my mechanic said it should be fake. But I saw some threads people are saying it is normal for engine oils sold in Tesco and Carrefour to have no seal?

Isn't the whole reason some of us buy from Tesco/Carrefour is because we believe that they will not sell fake oils?

Below is pic where you can see there is really no seal!

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


Mine August 2012...still new...

No, because the addictives might drop to the bottom.
If u pour it in, some of the addictives might not be in some part of the engine.
And some parts might get a lot

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?

Yea. But some manufacturers say it's 5 years.

Yup, oil from EU do not have the internal seal....
Is not fake, Tesco as a MNC will not sell fake stuffs. Anyway, many have used and go back for some more...

Wrote a mail to Castrol Malaysia on Monday 20th May 2013 no reply to date. A bit disappointed at their response, or lack thereof.

They cannot do anything because oil not from Castrol Malaysia. Same goes for Shell and Mobil.

No choice but to trust them. The Tesco PIC also told me memang they don't have the inner seal.

Should be ok la, the bottle cap is already like a seal anyway. The Mobil 1 bottle is sealed though with additional plastic cap cause the bottle is one with the goose neck extension type.
