Before going into detail why using original engine oil is necessary. First, let me tell you why I am writing this article. So here goes, as I was browsing through the internet, I stumbled upon a piece of news in which it was stated that Hyderabad Police has raided some area and has collected a large number of cartons of fake engine oil under the brand name of multinational oil companies. Moreover, the police have also arrested two suspects. So the point here is that let’s think for a moment that if the cartons of oil were to let loose in the market no one knows how many vehicles would have been affected by it.
Some people even use these fake engine oils to cut the cost of engine oil. Furthermore, some even buy engine oil from unauthorized dealers. We advise you not to buy engine oil from illegal dealer no matter what the situation, otherwise say goodbye to your vehicle.
