There has been a surge in ingenuine engine oils found across Mainland China and Eurasian Regions in recent years. With increased products from unknown or unauthorized sources flooding into the local market, it is difficult for customers to distinguish genuine and counterfeit motor oils at a glance. In light of this, we advise customers to purchase genuine products only, with the "Made in Hong Kong" label (in Traditional Chinese) on the front of the product, to prevent from being deceived. Not only does it assure the excellent quality of genuine lubricants, it also gives your car engine the most credible guarantee and a vote of confidence.

Besides, customers should stay vigilant if the product price is exceptionally low or dropped drastically. Do not hesitate to reach our Authorized Distributors. Visit the links of our Authorized Distributors to read more.
