look for inconsistencies in the packaging like misspelled words, odd symbols, poorly printed labels, and check for a unique Scantrust 2D code on the label which can be scanned using the dedicated app to verify authenticity; also, observe the oil's appearance, noting if it's unusually dark, has a strong unpleasant smell, or has a noticeably different consistency compared to genuine Mobil 1 oil.

Original ones are sold at Mobil filling station. 95% of what you see outside are fake.

Another option for engine oil na Hardex,the product is good.

I import from USA... Mobil 1 is the oil of choice for Nigerians.

Yes I do agree fake plenty pass original for market... Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

We also have Pennzoil and Castrol all from the USA

It is extremely hard for me to tell the difference..... A nairaland customer bought fake few months ago.

Have been importing from my USA base for the past 10 yrs now ....
