Simple filling without technical content brand-name car oil from the workshop

Since the end of May, the police of the Baihe Police Station of the Qingpu Public Security Bureau of Shanghai has received a lot of people from the village of Qinglong Village during the visit to the community. It is said that someone at the gate of a rented farmhouse in the village often ships oil, and the site stores a large number of barrels.

After determining the facts of the crime, the Shanghai Qingpu Police Joint Industrial and Commercial Department banned the illegal production and sale of dens on June 5. After investigation, Zhang used to be a salesperson for a certain brand of engine oil. After leaving last year, in order to obtain a huge profit, he and his friends bought a lot of expired and overpacked motor oils from Meifu, Shell, Castrol, Great Wall and other brands from his office. Mixing and filling, and affixing the counterfeit trademarks they purchased, after printing a good production date, the new products serving as the above-mentioned brands of motor oil are sold at a relatively low price to certain automotive supplies shops.

Afterwards, the police followed the order and on June 15th, Lin and Zhou, who had provided Zhang with expired inferior oil, were arrested. After interrogation, Lin and Zhou explained that since 2008, the two had obtained orders from a well-known brand oil company to deal with expired inferior oils. However, the two did not deal with the orders in accordance with regulations, but instead sold these expired and inferior oils directly. Zhang et al. accumulated sales of more than 10 million yuan, and illegally profited more than 300,000 yuan. At present, 4 people such as Zhang and other people are suspected of producing and selling shoddy products. The Qingpu Police have adopted criminal compulsory measures in accordance with law and the case is under further investigation.

"Anti-counterfeiting" garment oil may cause engine scrap

According to the suspect's Zhang, the production process of the fake oil is very simple - that is, the acquired waste oil is processed by blending, and then sold together with real oil. In addition to the more than 20 tons of counterfeit oil seized at the scene, it sold more than 20 tons of suspected counterfeit oil, and most of them went into auto repair factories. So, is such a large shipment, hasn't it been that consumers haven't found any of them?

Originally, the identification of counterfeit oil was difficult, and it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the outer packaging. It needed to be identified by a professional agency of the branded motor oil manufacturer, and similar appraisal costs were too high for consumers. According to the case handling police Jiang Xiaoyi, “When criminals conduct criminal activities, they will purchase genuine bottles and bottle caps from certain places in Guangdong, (on the packaging) and even have security badges that can be queried.”

After visiting a number of car repair companies, the reporter found that the outflow of genuine oil packaging has become an industry rule. Under normal circumstances, the owner of the car is in the vehicle behavior of the car for oil replacement, so that the car will accumulate the next large number of oil packaging box, coupled with many consumers will not specifically check the true and false oil, so on the packaging Most of the security signs were not used.

It is understood that the discarded genuine oil packaging is very market, the market price of simple bottle is about 5 hair, with a complete anti-counterfeiting bottle cap is even to 3 yuan high price. According to Peng Liqing, chief operating officer of Shanghai “Chongbang State”, “Because (genuine oil) bottle caps are equipped with the original anti-counterfeit labels, in order to prevent malicious use, large-scale vehicles generally use scissors to cut the bottle caps and handle them. However, many small-scale car service companies will not operate this way because of their interests."

We know that it is consumers who ultimately pay for such a complete industrial chain. Fake engine oil. The engine is the heart of the car. After the car starts, the engine that continues to work will reach a high temperature of 400-600 degrees Celsius. The engine oil plays a role in engine cooling, cleaning, buffering, rust prevention, and lubrication.

"Because of the high content of impurities in counterfeit or inferior engine oil, the six major functions mentioned above will be significantly reduced when the vehicle owner uses it for maintenance. On the one hand, it will aggravate the wear of internal engine parts, and on the other hand it will cause the cooling function of the engine to decline. As a result, the temperature rises, and the engine's service life-raising function and service life are affected at times, resulting in the scrapping of the cylinder and the engine being scrapped.” Peng Liqing said.

Tip: A "see" two "smell" car care should be more long-term

For ordinary consumers, especially the majority of vehicle owners, is there a practical know-how to identify true and false engine oil when maintaining cars? Peng Liqing believes that to determine the authenticity of the oil first look at the packaging of the security signs, but in view of counterfeit oil packaging "genuine", consumers can pour the oil out of observation: genuine oil color is clear, crystal clear, few impurities, smell There is no smell, and counterfeit engine oil is mixed in color.

At present, cars have entered millions of homes, and many owners prefer to buy brand-name oil and materials for maintenance. To this end, the police reminded the owner of the choice of formal channels when purchasing oil and other materials, must not be coveted, so as not to cause personal property losses.
