1. Look at the production date: the product’s inkjet code and production date are clear and neat, and the inkjet code location is as shown in the picture, while the fake product’s inkjet code is not clear and neat!
2. From the smell, some sellers are very good. They use the original packaging bottle but the fake oil is used inside. This is distressing, don’t be afraid! Open the oil cap and you will see a slight aroma, which means it is genuine. Fake oil will have the smell of gasoline and diesel oil. Oils with strong smell and peculiar smell are spoiled and inferior oils and should not be used.
3. You still have to look. Genuine engine oil is light yellow, crystal clear, and has no impurities, suspended matter, or sedimentation.
4. If possible, put half a bottle of engine oil into a transparent container and seal the bottle. (Note that the engine oil is there, so be sure to seal it before putting it in.) Put it in the freezer for 4-5 hours, at -20. It must still flow at the following low temperatures and cannot freeze, otherwise it will be fake engine oil!
