AUTOMOTIVE OIL seal code suggestion to CASTROL malaysia and others

[ICEMAN 68]

good day Just to bring up the attention to CASTROL malaysia ( if you're reading it )it's just a mere suggestion only Due to recent rise of many duplicated items in malaysia ..especially MOTOR ENGINE oil , i would suggest to CASTROL malaysia to come out with a special seal sealed from the manufacturer itself ...this seal will work as temper PROOF when we purchase you oil from any shelves locally ....purpose : to ensure that no one could re-produce this brand locally and give us a piece of mind to purchase only the originals ....anyway this is not only for your brand engine oil, but also for all .....happy reading .....

If currency note can be forged, I doubt the seal would stop the selling of fake oil, if that's your concern.

In fact how original in Castrol Malaysia anyway? If u frequent online, u will see Castrol Oil sold elsewhere in the world, more so in Europe is very different in packing. So who's is original? or is there an "Original" original?

While the above suggestion is good, I would always, and only buy my oil from known source and if that is not enough, customer can always contact Castrol Malaysia to identify the dealer nearest to your place... that's way, even no seal oso you don't have to worry..

What I don't like about Castrol is their LL-04 grade Valvetronic complaint engine oil only comes in bulk pack in Malaysia and to be sold to workshops and Service Centers. Meaning we Valvetronic owner is either their Castrol's workshops' customer, or not their customer..

They put up a counter in our recent Mini Bimmerfest, u go in talk to them to ask for recommendation of oil for E90, they just smiled and shake their heads. I almost wanted to ask why are they there...

I may sounded a little sarcastic but I don't mean to ask them to stop supporting our club.. I just hope they can bring in engine oil of the Valvetronic BMW-LL04 grade so we can support them. Seriously, your only competitor is Torco, which is the only consumer pack engine oil with SM LL-04 grade we can get from shelves for DIY oil change, in Malaysia.

Just my 2 sen..

... and not forgetting to thank them for the generous sponsors of our new member starter pack of engine oils. Great stuff for my Toyota! :top:

i hear castrol changes their packing quite often to counter imitation pirates. those who know what packing has the real product are those that deal or buy regularly from castrol . surely, these are serious steps already undertaken. surely, this goes beyond putting a special seal to the product. i wonder, even bootleg chivas (rm 260-300 at the pubs) pun ada special seal, but one taste and you know its ciplak.

just my 2 cents

Thives are just smarter or always 1 step ahead ...

Just to highlight the Oil Talk by Castrol Malaysia at Ingress Auto's Training Hall (5th Floor) @ Mutiara Damansara to be held immediately after the Club's EGM this Saturday, 23rd August from 4 pm - 5 pm.

Regretably, due to space constraints, this is only open to Official Members who are encouraged to attend to address whatever issues you have with Engine Lubes or Castrol.

For non-members, I suppose you can raise your query here and any members attending can then seek clarification on your behalf.
