Every time during periods of difficult economic situation, motorists resort to all sorts of ways to save on car maintenance. Including oil change. However, the AvtoVzglyad portal found
Even 15-20 years ago, among Russian car owners, the scheme of buying motor oil “in bottling” or “from a barrel” was quite popular. Supporters of this method of purchasing argued that in this way they are primarily insured against the purchase of counterfeit goods. Many years have passed since then, and the retail of lubricants has taken on more or less civilized features. But only until recently. In the past year, not only car brands have left the Russian market, but also a number of foreign suppliers of consumables.
The world’s leading giants of the “oil” industry, mainly American companies, defiantly turned their backs on Russia, and their products ceased to enter our market. This led, on the one hand, to a sharp rise in the prices of branded oils at car dealers, and, on the other hand, to a gradual depletion of stocks.
Shrewd businessmen quickly got their way around the situation and revitalized the oil bottling business. Previously, car owners learned about the outlets of “barrel” oil through word of mouth. And now specialized sites on the Internet are full of similar ads. In fact, buying lube in plastic bottles from bottled water is a lottery.
When buying this product, the car owner does not have the opportunity to find out what exactly they are selling him. He really only focuses on the appearance of the barrel with the logo of a well-known brand. And what is actually poured into it is on the trader’s conscience. Which, advertising imported drawing oil at 500-550 rubles per liter, has every opportunity to sell under its guise the cheapest motor lubricant of the wholesale market. For example, some domestic “sub-semi-synthetics” with a viscosity of 10W30 can be “sent” under the guise and at the price of imported branded synthetic products 5W40.
However, the car owner will not be able to check this. Indeed, having poured the obtained substance into the engine of his car, it will not “beat” the next day. Yes, problems due to the use of inappropriate “slurry” will certainly start with him. But not immediately, but after 15,000-20,000 km of running. And then no one can prove anything. But the sale of cheap worthless lubricant under the guise of an expensive branded imported lubricant will bring the trader at least 100% profit!
Therefore, instead of being guided now by the low price of supposedly imported oil “from a barrel”, it makes sense to buy a high-quality domestic analogue recommended by the car manufacturer – in standard cans. So we can be more or less confident in the true properties of the lubricant.
