Hello, good day!
First of all, I am very sorry for my bad English.
I have a little problem today. In my country, it is very common to see counterfeit oils (Mobil 1, Castrol, etc) in almost any automotive shop, like 95% of the shops. They used the old container and place a new sticker. It got to the point that they almost perfectly replicate the sticker and the cap secure lock.
Some price it the same as the original price even it is fake, some price it cheaper (but some avoid the cheaper one since people already know the counterfiet thingy)
Long story short. I dont want to special order an legit oil, since it will took 1-1.5 week to arrive (yeah our postal is garbage) I want an oil that is locally available incase problem happens
I found this at the one and only big mall in my city (that im sure they backed up their product as original) Which is 1hr drive from home
Royal Purple HPS 5w30
Shell Helix Ultra 5w30
Mitasu gold 5w30
Eneos Sustina 5w30
Pertua apex 5w30
Aisin 5w30
Top1 5w30
(Mitasu, Pertua, Aisin and Top1 is out of the list since this oil is not well known and I dont trust their brand)
So Im end up to the three big oil companies. The Royal Purple HPS, Shell Helix Ultra and Eneos Sustina.
Royal Purple is the cheapest
And Shell Helix Ultra is the most expensive of the three.
I have a question, why does RP have many hates? Is their oil bad? Is it because its expensive in your country? Since its purple? I cant find a solid answer even I search in this forum.
Shell Helix Ultra, is this good? Is this the same as the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in the USA?
Eneos Sustina - Meh, I have mixed feelings about this, but it looks okay.
I want to choose the RP since it is cheap, but in my research in this forum, I think it is the most hated oil in BITOG.
But if you are in my situation, which one do you choose? Im doing 8km OCI. It is for Subaru BRZ and Ford Ranger Raptor.
Sorry for the long post and again, sorry for my Bad English.
Thanks in advance
and
God bless
