Engine Oil choices at a Ukrainian version of American Lowe’s

Wurth makes good products. Not widely available here, and they won’t sell to individuals.

Mainstream here in Ukraine. Even tiny town gas stations might have it for sale.

How are things with counterfeits now? That was a big issue some time ago when I worked for an oil company in the Balkans. The amount of counterfeit stuff from the East was a huge problem. We actually did really well at that time because people were avoiding Castrol, Shell etc., because of counterfeit packaging.

It does exist, but not if you buy from any meaningfully legit appearing business

By the way, 10 years ago I made VOA Mobil 1 5w30 X1 from Epicentr and it was the same as the US analysis
