Nasa presyo din ba iyon malalaman if pirated or not?
    Buy from reputable stores.

    naging issue kasi dati sa castrol eh yung mismo subdealer ang nandudugas. Pinapalitan ng iba or parang may hinahalo. Ang nagparaid mismo eh castrol philippines.

    Usually may Castrol holographic sticker seal once you opened the cap. I had been using Castrol Magnatec 10w-40 on my previous ride for almost a decade. The engine was still in A1 condition when I sold it.
