I can hear it now. All the failed batches were from Walmart shelves..
Ya but the brands we deal with are premier blenders and but a small niche of brands available worldwide.Yup, I said it for years here and was beaten like an ugly red headed step child...

Do you remember the BITOG darling of the past. They come and go as you know. Cheapness often rules the day at BITOGYa but the brands we deal with are premier blenders and but a small niche of brands available worldwide.
Looks like 92% tested were legit.Looks like much of it points toward Asia and counterfeiting according to the article referenced.
They did remove the API donut thoughI would think sticking with the majors would be a good protective measure? Although Mobil was happy to ship out sub-standard oils after Katrina.
Actually anything that demands a premium price is more of a magnet for counterfeiting! Just look at all the $22 spark plugs that are getting faked.Maybe we are better buying OEM oil
Why aren’t those faked?That's why I use ACEA oils.
No proof they are.Why aren’t those faked?
LOL.. I don't actually.Do you remember the BITOG darling of the past. They come and go as you know. Cheapness often rules the day at BITOG

I never thought of that. Thankfully I found BJs had RGT on clearance in April 2020, and I bought everything they had on the floor. I have one oil change left from that score... I am assuming that batch of RGT entered the market before the world shut down.What were we getting during the height of cv19? Shortages were in every industry.
The machining materials I was getting then were all seconds they stored away and now put back on the market. I just started getting premium materials again 6 months ago. Most of that stuff was pure junk
