I wrote to the official website of castrol, they are also very surprised that the verification code consists of 13 characters. There is no foil under the lid. Sent an email to clarify the situation, they promised to write a response within 3 working days.

I used to take it for Amazon, but here the price is very attractive at the beginning of June 2022. I don’t know about the quality, I’ll freeze it, compare it with the original. Castrol tech support wrote that the sticker cannot be faked, and if it exists and beats like the original, then everything is ok. (Seller yooparts)

Oil came with a torn off hologram where there should be a code for authentication, and there was no protective foil when opening the lid.

Has some pros: Original. According to the code, the check passed the first time, on the Castrol website. Has some cons: The quality of the sticker with the code was in doubt, there were others in the form of a hologram before. Glued badly, departs along the edges, part of the code has already been erased. Photo attached.

At first I was glad that I managed to order at the old pre-war price, but I was glad early in the Y. market, they decided that one would be enough for me, though for the price of two. Chat with support is a useless exercise, they promise to sort it out and help, but in fact this is where it all ends, it’s not realistic to get through to them at all. The funny thing is I can’t return the order, they ask me to return two cans of oil !

I have been driving fusion for almost 10 years and tried to fill in different oils, but the last 2 times I fill in only this oil and now I will change it again for this. for 15-20 thousand it does not turn black much (just dark brown) and does not stink, the engine is clean inside, without serious deposits. I agree with the comment above that for cold diesel)

I learned in comparison, before that I filled in an obvious counterfeit. I noticed obvious differences, the "counterfeit" has an unpleasant smell similar to "working out", the canister is not durable, the sticker peels off, etc. This instance has the smell of synthetic oil and the label does not come off and the canister is more durable. The oil is clearly good. Even if not original.

Has pros: No verification code! And this is the most important thing that should be present on the original oil! Different cons: No proof of authenticity. The flask is of dubious quality. The edges are not even. The sticker can be seen pasted in non-factory conditions and under it pieces of dirt.

bought Auto in the showroom in 2022, Ford Focus 2, the first Oil was gorgeous, red, apparently running in, bought it for the second replacement and the engine started screaming right away, didn’t want to go, something started to rumble from the engine when it was cold, drained it after a thousand and poured Liquid and everything went away and began to work softly, here is my experience with this Oil! I do not rule out a fake, but I don’t want to tempt fate anymore!

I finished it for 8 years, and soon I decided not to bother with the car for sale and poured oil from the truck and, lo and behold, the oil consumption was gone . I was lucky that I drive a little and drove 40 thousand in 8 years - I didn’t have time to spoil the engine for such a mileage and replacement every year. Beware of fakes - it may be original and not bad, but I didn’t come across such a thing .

And yes, I heard and read many times that the castrol gives waste, the camshafts there for 70 thousand km loosen up with a characteristic sound . I don’t know, my level in the Ford engine didn’t really decrease, it was within the normal range before replacing by ~ 10000 km. It works quietly, mileage 130 thousand (duratec 100 hp). Maybe I won’t throw it away, what I just filled in, I’ll try how the level on this 5-liter Formula F canister without a seal on the neck decreases.

I was very surprised by the fact that no reviews were written during the entire production of this oil. Yes, gentlemen, this is the same Castrol, only in a different package. On my Ford Focus 1 car, this oil has been in operation for 11 years Pros: The car has driven more than 260,000 km on this oil. There are no special complaints, the oil did not go to waste, it darkened like ordinary oil, it is replaced every 10,000, but in general all the information can be found on the Oil Club Has some…

Many familiar motorists, those who had a Ford complained that they had come across a fake, I didn’t seem to come across. I change the oil in a car every 7-8 thousand km, the car has been 15 years old, from replacement to replacement I have to add 400-600 g depending on the driving style, I think this is the norm. Its pros: Conventional engine oil recommended for Ford and Mazda vehicles. Cons below: No shortcomings have been identified, except that this product cannot be found in most car…

Got pros: Sticker with qr code confirming the original origin of the oil Some cons: The sticker seems to have just been glued, the edges are moving away, but I want to believe in the authenticity of the oil)
