So, it’s time for an oil change. Your mechanic or service centre gives you a quote which you don’t really like the look of, so you trawl through e-commerce platforms and social media pages listed by any seller to find the same engine oil for, to your utmost delight, nearly half the price.
You click ‘Buy Now’ in a split-second, and before you know it, you’re filling the bowels of your engine with this miracle lubricant that just saved you so much. Doesn’t a good deal feel good? I’ve beat the system, you think, starting your car and circulating thousands of millilitres of counterfeit oil around your motor.
You see, oil is pretty much to an engine what blood is to the human body – it goes around the whole thing, into every extremity, into every nook and cranny. Just as you wouldn’t want counterfeit blood in you, you wouldn’t want an oil of dubious formulation lubricating a machine you rely on so much to take you, your beloved spouse and your cherished children everywhere, every day.
Engine oil doesn’t just lubricate; it also cools, cleans and protects the many moving parts. A non-genuine oil with inadequate lubricating properties can cause increased friction, which makes the engine work harder, which leads to higher fuel consumption, compromised performance and in extreme cases, overheating. Not to mention increased wear and tear, which could cause engine damage in the long run.
It doesn’t pay to be penny wise and pound foolish, sebab sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi sakit. If you’re a Perodua owner, you need to know about Perodua Genuine Oil.
