All you have to do is give the cap a twist and you'll know it's been opened.In this scenario, you can inspect the cap and everything looks good at a glance. It’s not until you actually remove the cap that you realize the problem.

I use Castrol with the foil seal, but I never remove all of it. I just poke into it and fold it inward. If a piece gets into my crankcase the fikter will catch it!The only thing about the foil seal- what if a piece, very small goes into your engine.
I know a BITOG member would make sure that doesn’t happen
What about the average Joe?
Maybe a different kind of seal would be safer?
I noticed a friend used some Castrol Edge, with a foil seal.
He just pushed the seal in and started pouring. I told him to watch for a stray piece of foil.
He acted like it was ok.
Some people order oil online though.All you have to do is give the cap a twist and you'll know it's been opened.
Borh QS and Pennzoil are now Shell products.
I notice that many products that come in plastic containers, the containers themselves contain less material and are more flimsy. Spring water bottles such as Poland Springs, for example. The politically correct reason for thinner containers is to reduce plastic in the waste stream.
The non politically correct reason is to save money.
Do you mean the seal ring or like a plastic peeling cover over the spoutbuying from walmart no seal means your oil could be USED, it happened once but they quickly refunded me!!
I really dislike foil seals.I don't see a problem with the SOPUS caps. If they've not been removed, they resist unscrewing until the anti-tamper ring comes free. If they've already been off, they don't resist. Much better than foil that won't come off completely in one piece.
