Hard to say in Greece.
Could have been poorly stored.

I have often see the stickers start to peel of, usually when the Jug was stored a little bit longer.

For the price of a jug of oil, I wouldn’t use it.

I was considering buying another jug of this oil localy and compare the appearance of the oil inside. If they look and smell the same then it must be okay... or not?
I am going to throw it away anyway if I am not going to use it and I will anyway have to buy another jug for the oil changeYou would break the seals to visually compare the oils and smell them?
Dont throw it away yet. First ask your question also here :

You could write your questions in english.
The members of the german oil club maybe know better wich german dealers are safe to order.

How can some shops give very low prices for top brand oils and specifically for the top line of their products?
For example the same oil ranges from £4.70/L to £9.95/L. The shop that offers the lowest price has no negative reviews, while it has thousands of positives.
totally agreed. though not always the most convenient way.
wandered around 5 shell petrolstations looking for Shell Helix Ultra ECT C3 and none had it. had to buy online.
also a lot of counterfeits around here. though still not on russian levels...yet
i dont know...i have many jugs of mobil sitting around full of waste oil. some have been around for awhile....i have never seen the label peel like that on any of them.
1) I'm a total "Doubting Thomas", or, "Negative Nellie"...a real "the glass is half empty and it's dirty" kind of person.
2) To me, counterfeiting anything to effectively steal money seems like something lots of people would do.
3) Also, I fully believe batches of product can be made to any QC level they want. Catering to a big retailer's price point comes to mind.
4) Ever wonder why no counterfeit oils have ever been documented? If false products haven't seen light here, where or when would they?
5) "1930's oils" being sold currently have been exposed.
6) Are the tests for detecting "1930's oils" so cheap they get performed while tests to affirm modern formulations are too expensive to perform?
If the label is in Greek or specialized to that single market, it may have gone through separate labeling where the edge curling you see may have happened.
Sending some with pictures and a complete explanation to Exxon/Mobil itself might be the way to go.

I think it should be fine in my opinion.
