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.
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....

Kancil recommended viscosity is 10w-30, some use 5w-30....

Hmm 0W40 a bit too thin for me.
Oo Tesco also. Carrefour also sometimes gives such discounts but not as often as Tesco.
Carrefour nowadays less after being bought over by Aeon, now called Aeon Big....

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.
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?

The stock I bought was made in 2011 as printed on bottle. Does this explain the price it was sold at?
Tesco oil selling cheap before the oil imported form EU. Probably they bought cheap in bulk
