you mean to say is that if time is different on bottles one of bottle is fake. :-!

[searchingeyez]

if time is same on all the bottles or serial no is same on all bottles then of course its not original ...we knw different serial number is generated for each product n thus at the same time (same minute n second) more than one bottle filling is difficult to undrstand

This is original castrol

Mfg 2012 ??.....that is too old....even if box is sealed 2-3 years is hell of time on shelf, without being sold... avoid using it...
Or second scenario could be it is a fake and repacked old oil pack...

Mfg date is 2012? Too old oil bro. Stay away from such old oil that's my advice to you.

Let @xulfiqar will put some light on "effect of using old Mfg oil in car"

[aamirq]

this is the old stock! most probably ex factory stock! coz the packaging has changed! this is the old packing the new packing has a totally different look!

The pictures are of genuine Castrol Magnatec marketed and sold in Pakistan by Castrol (a subsidiary of BP). I have been using this oil in three of our cars without any issues. True that the date of manufacturing is 2012 and a bit on the oldish side but top quality engine oils like Magnatec have shelf lives of upto 5 years provided they are stored indoors, do not experience freezing and remain sealed in original packing. Just my 2 cents.

Btw the latest Magnatec stock I bought yesterday was manufactured in March 2014.

I think it is manufactured in the UK and shipped in bulk containers to Castrol repacking facilities worldwide. The one we get comes from such a facility in the UAE.

You should be fine. Do tell us about your experience with Magnatec.

I happen to know of Castrol Edge (fully sythetic) mixed in Germany and sold in UK and US and its highly regarded. Then theres another Castrol with same colours and bottles like above pictures, made in UAE and available in GCC. I am fairly confident you get the same oil in Pakistan ie UAE made...

I will see if I can find the pictures somwhere...
