In the US if you buy oil from Walmart you can be pretty sure its not counterfeit as they are too big and buy directly from a blender. I suppose once and awhile there is a container of quality oil on the shelf that is used or cheap oil refilled into the container, but that has got to be pretty rare. Few people will risk some legal issues trying to save $25.
That's the reason why I check the cap seal.
I pour the first teaspoon of oil from the container onto the filter base and then rub that onto gasket with finger. So I would certainly notice if used oil at that point. Or diesel or heating oil.
I am looking for some kind of seal or cap-ring also.
