Some 6 months back a sales rep convinced me to use kixx oil (synthetic) I guess it was 5 w 20 like zic a+.
It is from gs oil korea and I guess gs oil in korea is a division of caltex. Packing seemed to be ok so I tried it.
They also gave some introductory gifts like a packnof tissue, key chains etc etc.
While is was reading on one of their gift items it was writer 'mortor' oil. I am not sure if this was a printing mistake from the local representative of kixx but I was so worried that I went straight to honda and had it replaced after about 48kms of driving with honda sm 5 w30, I guess it is same pack of total quartz 9000.
I also got my oil filter and air filter, fuel filter (too costly) and spark plugs changed from honda.
The problem is that the oil companies originally are making good oils. Kixx will be good too but who knows it is a counterfeit as there are hundereds of oil change outlets there in pakistan and they have got such a variety of every lubricant.
From that day, I have learnt a lesson to buy these things from either oem or the authrized outlets like shell, total, caltex, pso etc.
Atleast you have the assurity of its genuineness. Also note that there are lots of counterfeit oil filters of guard, honda, toyota, suzuki are being sold in these shops. Same is true with air filters.
So better be safe than sorry and spend a few extra bucks.
Thats just my two cents...
