With the growth of automobile production and sales in China, the lubricating oil market has shown huge business opportunities. However, a large number of counterfeit lubricating oil appeared in the market at this time, and many car users and drivers were deceived, so many car owners were extremely depressed. Cracking down on counterfeiting will become the norm in the lubricant industry. Regardless of whether the price of lubricants has risen due to rising raw material prices or other reasons, counterfeit oil products are a hazard after all.

   Cases of counterfeit lubricating oil seized one after another. The following are typical anti-counterfeiting cases in 2016:
  1: Huangpu Customs seized 4,800 tons of smuggled lubricants

  In June 2016, Huangpu Customs seized 4,800 tons of smuggled lubricants, and seized more than 200 tons of Mobil, Castrol and other brands of lubricants, with a value of 201 million yuan.

  2: Haikou police cracked down on the case involving the manufacture and sale of counterfeit lubricants, involving more than one million yuan.

  Haikou Police and the Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce jointly cracked a case of manufacturing and selling counterfeit and shoddy lubricants, and seized more than 2,000 pieces of lubricants from brands such as "Castrol", "Shell" and "Mobil", involving more than 1 million yuan.
   3: Hunan seized nearly 20 tons of fake Castrol and other brand lubricants

  The Inspection Bureau of the Quality Supervision Bureau of Southern Province and the Changsha Municipal Bureau of Quality Supervision enforced the law on the spot, and sealed up a lubricating oil manufacturing warehouse and a counterfeit lamp den. Among them, the counterfeit products produced by the counterfeiting factories involved Castrol, Mobil and other brand lubricants, 660 bottles of 4-liter semi-finished products and nearly 20 tons of bulk lubricants were seized.

  Industry insiders told us that the use of inferior oil will not only affect the life of the engine, but also may "break down" at any time, causing losses.

  How to choose lubricating oil and how to avoid buying fake lubricating oil has become a new problem for drivers and purchasers. To this end, the person in charge of a well-known domestic lubricant brand who has been in charge of cracking down on counterfeiting for a long time said, "Consumers can easily distinguish between genuine and fake lubricants as long as they master 'see, hear, ask, and know'."

From the appearance and packaging, the various patterns on the surface of the genuine oil drum are clearly printed, and the color on the schematic diagram is close to human skin color; the pattern printing of the fake product is blurred, and the color registration is inconsistent; The color is reddish, light, light. At the same time, there are obvious differences in the welding seam of the oil drum. The welding seam of the genuine product is smooth, the thickness of the welding line is uniform, and the counterfeit product is the opposite.

Smell, from the internal quality point of view, one of the counterfeit products is faked with other engine oil, which needs to be identified by food inspection methods; the other is faked with recycled engine oil, which is generally dark in color, and you can smell ordinary gasoline or diesel engines with your nose. smell and other strange smells.

  Ask is to ask more questions when purchasing lubricating oil products.

  Cut, most regular lubricant products have relevant anti-counterfeiting measures.

  For example, some lubricating oil barrels have four high-tech anti-counterfeiting technologies, including random image anti-counterfeiting, QR code anti-counterfeiting, mirror color-changing anti-counterfeiting, and special ink anti-counterfeiting, to prevent product counterfeiting. In addition, from the laser anti-counterfeiting signs, the genuine three-dimensional three-dimensional pattern has a strong three-dimensional sense and distinct layers; the counterfeit product has no three-dimensional sense, and the brightness varies greatly. Another point is that if the anti-counterfeiting sign is torn off, it can be pasted on again, or if it is torn off and broken, it is all fake. Avoid wasting money and use engine oil better and with confidence.
