Check the packaging and label
The packaging of genuine excavator oil is usually well-made, with bright and uniform colors, and clear text and patterns. The brand logo, product name, specification model, production date, shelf life and other information on the packaging are complete and accurate.
The packaging of counterfeit engine oil may have problems such as roughness, blurriness, and misspellings, and the information on the label may also be incomplete or incorrect.
Observe the appearance of the engine oil
Genuine excavator oil usually has a clear and transparent or semi-transparent appearance, free of impurities, suspended matter and sediment. When observed under light, the engine oil should present a uniform luster.
Counterfeit engine oil may have a cloudy appearance, impurities or sediment, and its color may also be uneven.
Smell the odor
Genuine excavator oil usually has a light oily aroma and no pungent or abnormal smell.
Counterfeit engine oil may give off a pungent chemical smell or other abnormal odors, which may be caused by the use of inferior raw materials or additives.
Check the viscosity
The viscosity of excavator oil is one of its important performance indicators. The viscosity of genuine engine oil usually meets the requirements stated in the product manual and can maintain stable lubrication performance at different temperatures.
The viscosity of engine oil can be checked through a simple test, such as dropping a small amount of oil on your finger to feel its viscosity and fluidity. The viscosity of counterfeit engine oil may not meet the requirements, being either too thin or too thick.
Query anti-counterfeiting code
Many genuine excavator oils are equipped with anti-counterfeiting measures such as anti-counterfeiting codes or QR codes. Consumers can verify the authenticity of engine oil by scanning the anti-counterfeiting code or checking the anti-counterfeiting system.
When checking the anti-counterfeiting code, please ensure that you visit the official and legitimate query website or system to avoid being deceived by counterfeit websites.
Purchase through regular channels
To avoid purchasing counterfeit excavator oil, it is recommended that consumers choose regular channels for purchase, such as brand-authorized dealers, large construction machinery parts markets or well-known e-commerce platforms, etc.
When making a purchase, please ask the dealer to provide a formal invoice and after-sales service guarantee so that you can protect your rights in a timely manner when problems arise.
