    Started to maintain my vehicle outside the casa and just found out that there are counterfeit oils being sold in the market. Question is, how to know if they are counterfeit or not? Bought Castrol Edge 5w-40 Fully Synthetic for my Toyota Fortuner and quite worried if the 7 liters that I bought are not the real deal. Bought 1gal for 2850 and additional 3 liters for 2175. Nasa presyo din ba iyon malalaman if pirated or not?

    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.
