Shell Malaysia is cracking down fake engine oils sold online and in hypermarkets!

Ever wondered why some Shell engine oil are sold significantly cheaper on certain online platform and hypermarkets? Well, that’s because they’re probably fake.

Tests by Shell Malaysia found that over 30 percent of engine lubricants sold in hypermarkets and unofficial online stores are fake. 

Shell Malaysia is working together with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNDHEP) to crack down on parties who are distributing counterfeit and illegal Shell lubricants.

The company recently conducted a special training workshop which was attended by nearly 100 enforcement officers from KPDNDHEP and Royal Malaysian Customs to equip the authorities with knowledge on how to differentiate genuine Shell lubricants from the counterfeits.

These counterfeit engine oils which are not packaged and formulated by Shell Malaysia, not only do not provide the necessary protection for your engine, it may also damage your engine block.

Consumers can identify genuine Shell engine oil by peeling the “Untuk Pasaran Malaysia” label on the bottles to reveal a QR code to authenticate the product on Shell Malaysia’s SHARE website.

When buying online, it is advised to purchase on Shell Malaysia’s official store on Lazada. Offline retail stores include Shell fuel stations nationwide and authorized distributors. Click on the hyperlinks for more information on where to get genuine Shell lubricants.
