If the engine is the "heart" of the car, then the engine oil is the "blood" of the car, with functions such as lubrication, cooling, rust prevention, and shock absorption. Real engine oil has a thick oil film that protects car parts and reduces wear. Using fake engine oil is like injecting "poison" into the blood. It will cause insufficient engine power, seriously affect the life of the engine, cause the car to break down while driving, and cause traffic accidents.

▲Fake engine oil cannot achieve the cleaning effect of real engine oil, which will cause serious carbon deposits and sludge in the engine, increase pollutant emissions, and cause excessive fuel consumption.

▲Fake engine oil has a shorter replacement cycle. If replaced at a normal frequency, it is easy to cause the car to pull the cylinder.

▲In addition, fake engine oil is mostly refined from waste engine oil, which is highly corrosive and can easily corrode internal car parts after long-term use.

Fake engine oil has low cost, good sales, and high profits. Criminals are desperate and know how to fake it, and they try their best to do so. Recently, in accordance with the unified deployment of the Ministry of Public Security, public security agencies in Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan and other places have carried out investigations across the entire chain and in all links, insisting on digging deep into the source and strictly investigating offline, and quickly solved a number of important cases, effectively purifying the oil sales market. The legitimate rights and interests of consumers and the intellectual property rights of oil companies are protected in accordance with the law.
