But such a procedure is expensive and the usual car owner is not always affordable. Therefore, we can be content with only indirect signs and hope for good luck! Until new meetings, nor nailing to you and no rod!
Recently, in the market of automotive products, cases of mass fake of the original Mobil oil became frequent 1. Despite this fact, the counterfeit is quite easy to distinguish from factory products if you use certain knowledge.
Most often on the packaging of counterfeit and the original Mobil lubrication, stickers, marking, as well as the location of the inscriptions on the label themselves are distinguished. Nevertheless, the fakes are trying to modify the original due to the high demand Mobile. Since a large range of lubricating products from this company, presented on the market, causes confidence among auto owners.
So stopping at the choice motor lubricant Mobil 1, car enthusiasts do not always suggest that is hidden behind Kanishyst. There are such situations when drivers do not notice that they use counterfeit oil. However, more experienced motorists define falsification because they worsen performance features Car:
- the appearance of knocks and noise when operating the engine;
- wear of the engine system;
- contamination of parts by various sediments and ingaras;
- engine inability to work at high speed.
Therefore, it is necessary to analyze Mobil 1 motor fluid to know how to distinguish the counterfeit product from the original lubrication.
Signs of falsified oil
To detect a fake, you need to pay attention to the external signs of packaging. Most often on the counterfeit label indicate not the full address of the manufacturer. If details are missing or applied with gross errors, then we are talking about fake. However, this is not the main feature of the difference, since some falsifications indicate the full address of the manufacturer.
Tara
Mobil 1 motor fluids are not poured into the tank of transparent color. Therefore, if the owner of the car sees a translucent container in front of him, it says about the rude fake. To create original packages, the manufacturer uses high-quality plastic. Therefore, even the worn-out container has a stronger structure and external attractiveness after a long period of storage in stock, than the falsified products cannot boast.
Label
The quality of the stickers also plays an important role in choosing. Labels must be tightly pasted on the surface of the canister and lay down to the container. If air bubbles are detected on the package or the label starts to flap, then before the driver is a falsified oil. Experts recommend choosing a motor fluid in a container without labels, where addresses, labeling and production dates are indicated on the surface of the canister.
However, oils with viscosity index 0W40, 10W40, 5W30 and other Mobile 1 brands are not produced without labels, despite the fact that some information is specified on the top of the tank.
Cap
On the lids should be rings with a holistic structure. If such are available, it means that it is a quality Mobil oil 1. Wipe plastic plastic or minor deformations of its structure speak of a falsified product.
Hologram
Another distinguishing feature is the hologram responsible for the quality of the composition. On the canister with a fake car, the hologram does not have a one-piece design, as on a container with the original lubricant. In addition, differences are observed in the size of the font and print quality. Hermetic branded packaging, with a control sticker on the lid.
To avoid buying counterfeit, it is necessary to purchase Mobil oil, manufactured not more than 2-3 months ago. Because the manufacture of packages and labels is a certain amount of time, and the fake lubricant is usually implemented with a production date of 5-6 month prescription.
Fighting counterfeit products
Mobil undertook several measures to improve the protection of its car from counterfeit products. First of all, the capacitance cover was changed. For her, the plotting can be equipped. At falsified tanks, such a watering can not occur because it is almost impossible to fake. In addition, the manufacturer pointed the direction of unscrewing on the cover, which is usually not found on counterfeit tanks.
Thus, the client will be able to distinguish the fake from the original oil if the seller does not allow opening of the package. The plug is located on a protective skirt of the identical plug color. If it is not, then in front of the motorist, the fake lubricant Mobil. Pay attention to the cost of the original oil. As a rule, the counterfeit product is implemented at a lower price, an average of 500-600 rubles less.
The original canister should have a gray or bright silver shade that does not give falsification. Fake tanks have darker colors due to low paint quality. On the back label there should be a white-red arrow under the bar code. When pulling the edge of the label under it there will be marked with the text. Note that the first etiquette of the back is not glued, if you tear it off.
Fake Oil Protection Systems
First of all, it is worth highlighting the quality of printing and paint on the label motor fluid. On the original container, the inscriptions and marking are clearly visible. If the designations are blurred with paint or differ in the font size, this indicates a counterfeit product and the original Mobil oil has nothing to do with it.
At the bottom of the original canister should be designated by Bath-Cod, which is extruded by pressing the hand. Batch-COD is a party number starting with the Latin letter G or N.
To protect yourself from fake oil, it is recommended to acquire a lubricant from official suppliers and in specialized stores. After all, the quality lubricant Mobil 1 cannot be implemented cheap in low-grade plastic.
Good day! I have a hurry to report that Mobil introduced a new degree of protection of its products from fakes! Now you can distinguish fake oil mobile with a simple ultraviolet lamp! This news most likely grieves the company that trades counterfeit products. However, it is worth noting that the company itself has not announced anywhere this information. Recently, I myself did not know about it and noticed immediately.
For example, take two ordinary canisters with Mobil Super 3000 5W-40 oil, which is currently one of the most sought-after oils in our region. On the left was released on 07/24/15, on the right - 07/04/16. Both canisters are original products, not counterfeit. We will need an ultraviolet flashlight. I took advantage of what was at hand, namely the banknotes detector with an ultraviolet lamp for 4W. Turn off the light and see this picture:
From the second half of 2016, all official distributors of the Mobile brand in the regions of Russia began to receive canisters with updated labels, the individual elements of which are covered with an invisible ultraviolet fluorescent pigment. With day or artificial light, this paint does not appear in any way, except for small thickens in the area of \u200b\u200bthe letter "o" in the brand logo and around the viscosity of the engine oil. But it is worth armed with an ultraviolet flashlight, as these elements begin to glow.
The innovation is available for products issued at the Mobil plant in Naantali (Finland). The city code is denoted by the letter N at the beginning of the alphanumeric code on the canister.
However, it is not necessary to immediately worry if you have not seen glowing characters on the canister label. A complete transition to a new degree of protection is scheduled for the second half of 2017. In the meantime, there will be a regular label on store shelves, as well as improved protection.
Of course, the new oil protection mobile from fake is well invented. But will it be convenient to visit the store with a UV flashlight to reveal a fake? What do you think? Write your answer in the comments to this article! That's all, thanks for your attention to new meetings on our website!
Most Russian motorists are people hardened by daily stress. Broken roads, constantly worthwhile gasoline, long repairs in car services - all these dangers holds a man in his head, once-dried behind the wheel. The experience of the "Lidh 90s" taught the Russian driver to be prepared for any surprises.
The more nicer on a general background is becoming a positive experience when someone does everything to help the car owner not to get into trouble. After all, we all want to believe in the best, and good news from Avtuer is really enough. The main thing is to notice them.
How often Russian drivers change engine oil in their cars? There is a generally accepted stereotype that it is necessary to do it every 10,000 mileage kilometers. And then, they say, the oil will save their protective properties, and the engine will not be subjected to wear. Is it so? The question is not idle. Both items are easily questioned.
First, there are currently oils that provide excellent engine operation at an interservice interval to 20 thousand kilometers. Secondly, the replacement every 10,000 km does not guarantee stable work The engine, if the bombed from the unverified seller is flooded with a suspicious packaging in a carcard, which means that the engine oil shakes the surrogate.
So is there an opportunity and less often change the engine oil, and be sure that the engine will work for all hundred? The answer is yes.
Video - engine analysis after 20,000 km run with Mobil 1 oil:
Exxonmobil held in Russia real field tests of motor line mobil oils 1. Their goal was to prove that motor oils are capable of working with maximum performance at intervals of oil replacement to 20,000 km. Popular product products were chosen as subjects: Mobil 1 FS 5W-30, Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 and Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30. These oils were filled into the engines of Moscow taxis, and what stress were experiencing these cars in constant traffic jams working in any weather, no one should tell anyone.
Testing was attended by nine cars Mercedes-Benz E200 stamps and Skoda Octavia.And each of the cars passed during the test of about 120,000 kilometers. Every 5,000 kilometers specialists took oil samples and sent them to the laboratory.
- Within the framework of the project this year we tested sample samples of spent oils with one of the most advanced technologies - analysis programs lubricants Mobilservsm developed by Exxonmobil. The study of the samples was made on the basis of a laboratory in the city of Pernis, the Netherlands. Samples of oils were analyzed by kinematic viscosity at 100 ° C, fuel content, soot, wear metals and additive elements, oxidation index and nitration, alkaline and acidic number, -bernd Berring, Technical Specialist ExxonMobil in the Eame region, told Bernd.
To illustrate the authenticity of these laboratory research, two public inspections of the engines participating in the test. First, at the intermediate stage, were opened valve coversAnd the result of the inspection was the conclusion of specialists who appreciated the level of purity of the engines to "excellent".
Upon completion of test tests, a full analysis of one of skoda engines Octavia. The study of its details has shown that the motor after 120,000 kilometers with more rare than is accepted, the interservice interval was in perfect condition. Tests proved Mobil 1 product quality and its ability to perfectly protect the engine and when replacing oil with an interval of 20,000 km.
At the same time, ExxonMobil is confident that the engine can always be replaced in the recommended intervals indicated in the instruction manual of each particular car. It is necessary to take into account the loads that the engine is exposed during operation.
Now we are approaching the second voiced issue. How can you confident that you buy precisely the original engine oil, released on the declared manufacturer? And here, ExxonMobil has taken care of Russian consumers to protect them from unscrupulous sellers and assure in the correctness of the choice taken when buying a choice. Now any consumer of Mobil 1 products can be sure that it acquires real engine oil. How? Very simple.
Exxonmobil presented to customers a new, simple and convenient, Mobil ™ product protection technology, which can be used to authenticate. In 2018, on the front labels, Mobil 1 ™, Mobilsuper ™, Mobil ™ Ultra and MobildelVac ™ for easy commercial vehicles with a volume of 1 l and 4 liters have appeared new protective elements: digital, visual and tactile. This is a combination of QR code, a unique 12-digit code and volumetric metal points with colored stripes applied to them.
How it works? You can scan the QR code on the label using the camera or the corresponding application on the smartphone. The Mobil.ru/original page is automatically opening on the screen, which is shown on it. The layout of the color strips must be compared with what is represented at the metal points of the label.
The next mandatory stage is to check whether metal points on the volumetric label are. After that, you need to compare whether the 12-digit code coincides with the front label with the one that appears on the smartphone screen during the verification process. If all the steps of checking have passed successfully, it means that you can be confident in the authenticity of the purchased canister of engine oil.
- The foundation new system Checks - a special multistage process, thanks to which it is not only accurate, but also very easy to use. We also took care of those who are more convenient to check the authenticity of the purchased product using a computer - such an opportunity provides a special web page on the official website of Mobil ™,- emphasized Maxim Khokhlov, head of the sales department for lubricants for passenger cars Exxonmobil in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine.
All you need to check from a computer is to open the Mobil.ru/original page, enter a unique 12-digit code from the front label and, as in the case of a smartphone, compare colored stripes on it and on the screen, and then check Metal points on relief.
The same arrangement of strips on the canister and screen, as well as the relief of points will mean that the product is original. In the case of incomprehension of any of the conditions, you can instantly inform the manufacturer about this through the feedback form on the site.
And then Exxonmobil immediately takes measures to punish scammers. After all, the company leads a permanent and consistent struggle with unscrupulous manufacturers and sellers. In its framework there is close work with Russian law enforcement agencies who react to all incoming signals. Moreover, the precedents already exist when its manufacturers and sellers suffered criminal punishment for the implementation of suspicious products.
In the city of Orsk of the Orenburg region, the court ruled in the case of the production of counterfeit engine oil in the underground workshop located in the village of Pervomaysky. As it was established, three participants of the criminal group created a line on spilling of poor quality machine oil into plastic cans and iron barrels from under synthetic oil with labeling of famous firms. They supplied their products to shops.
The attackers used 36 names of trademarks. Physico-chemical studies have shown that under the guise of synthetic engine oil, low-quality mineral engine oil, which does not meet the requirements of the regulatory documentation of motor oils for gasoline engines.
The number of cars whose engines suffered as a result of using such an oil, cannot be calculated. Therefore, the court fell on the direction of the prosecution and sentenced the accused of real terms of conclusion. In addition, each of them was fined the amounts from 200 to 300 thousand rubles, as well as all of them were obliged to compensate for the damage to victims in the amount of more than one million rubles.
