How to distinguish fake Opel GM Dexos 2 5W30 engine oil. Step-by-step instructions with photos, comparison of counterfeit with the original.
The photographs show the correct four-liter canister 19 42 002 (left) and a fake (right). The oil is very popular with Chevrolet and Opel car owners. Large sales volumes are the primary factor influencing the desire of criminals to engage in counterfeiting.
The first thing that made me study the suspicious specimen more closely was the lid that was not fully screwed on. As a result, a small part of the contents leaked out. The lid was screwed all the way, but the play remained within 10 degrees. The real product does not move at all.
Let's move on to a more detailed comparison of canisters. The label of the counterfeit product, both on the front side and on the back of the book, does not differ from the original. No differences were found, except that the font and print quality on a fake sample are slightly lower. The difference is present only in the hologram pasted on the right side of the top of the front label. Even in the photo you can see how the hologram shimmers on the original canister on the left, and on the fake the hologram is a "trick", that is, it is present, but does not have the property of shimmering in squares at different viewing angles.
What else unequivocally gives out a fake in the test sample is plastic.
The right sample (fake) has a sloppy seam between the two halves. The same flaw is visible at the bottom of the canister, but not so clearly.
What else besides a bad seam should be alarming. The mold marks are again visible around the HDPE recycling pictogram. Instead of a square-pyramid with a hologram effect - the inscription Plysu. The letters at the Reg Des inscription are thicker, as are the oil level numbers. The stiffening ribs of the fake are cast indistinctly, rounded.
The following photo clearly shows the difference between the fake and the original using the quality of the plastic surface as an example. The counterfeit on the right has a non-smooth surface, with small shells.
A distinctive feature of the original canister is also the ability of the plastic to change color from yellowish to gray at different angles. When looking at the bottom at an angle, the upper half has a yellow tint. This feature of the counterfeit material is either absent or almost invisible.
Measured risks and numbers should not be rounded, but flattened, flatter.
And for a snack. The thickness of the plastic is not the same as the real one. Especially summed up the corners. They literally shine through. A very slight pressure leaves a dent in the corner that does not straighten out.
In the "Oil Here" store (Maslozdes) you can always buy original GM oil in Chelyabinsk, without doubting its quality and authenticity. Very careful quality control of the goods and our many years of experience guarantee that there are no counterfeit oils in our store.
Go to view and select products
The practice of many motorists confirms that a properly selected engine oil (MM) contributes to a long and sound operation of a car engine. The variety of modern MM brands and their loud advertising often push drivers to make rash choices. Some of them forget about the need for a careful approach to the choice of a lubricant that directly affects the performance of an automobile engine.
Innovative oil GM-5W30
Auto industry experts as well as experienced drivers recommend relying on tried and tested brands. One of the products of recognized brands is GM-5W30 oil. According to its formula, it belongs to low-ash synthetic.
The temperature range of effective operation is quite wide: from -35 o C to +50 o C. When it was created, innovative ingredients were used, which contributed to the wide recognition of the quality of this product in the world. Numerous reviews of motorists indicate a decrease in engine wear dynamics with its help, as well as optimization of fuel consumption.
Oil properties
The characteristics of the oil are quite modern and testify to its innovativeness. Low viscosity indicates fluidity and the ability to reliably protect the engine. The extensive temperature range indicates the versatility of its use:
- viscosity characteristic -5W-30;
- the ignition temperature of the liquid is 222 0 С, which significantly reduces the risk of a flash (usually motors do not heat up to such temperatures);
- coefficient of viscosity of a running motor at a temperature of 100 ° C - 11.2 mm2 / s;
- coefficient of viscosity of a running motor at a temperature of 40 ° C 66 mm2 / s;
- MM freezes at 36 o C, so it is calculated as a maximum for the winters of the temperate climate zone;
- alkali index in MM - 9.6 mg;
- viscosity index - 146;
- MM density at a temperature of 20 ° C - 853 kg / m3.
Worthy product of the American car industry
GM-5W30 engine oil, as its name implies, is produced by the well-known American mega-car company General Motors. However, not only by her, but also by the collaborating French oil manufacturer Motul Specific. The single line of oils they produce has dozens of different configurations and is designed for dozens of different car brands:
- "Chevrolet";
- "Volkswagen";
- "Fiat";
- Holden sports cars;
- Renault;
- "Pontiac".
- "Mercedes";
- "Opel";
- "Deo";
- "Cadillac";
- SUVs GMC;
- "Buick";
- "Alpheon".
For modern cars
Its additives oxidize parts of engines of the last century not designed for them. When a completely serviceable old engine with a new MM is running, a smell of burning will be felt and, as a result of their accelerated wear, a knock appears in the engine.
The formula that has become the standard
As evidenced by driver reviews, GM-5W30 oil is today a bestseller. It is preferable, as it is directly recommended in the technical specifications of the vehicles mentioned above. It is certified in systems:
- ACEA A3/B3;
- ACEA A3/B4;
- ACEA C3;
- APICF;
- API SM.
Open approvals for certificates
In addition, real car enthusiasts will appreciate the fact that GM-5W30 oil has certificate approvals:
- BMW LongLife-04;
- Dexos2;
- GM-LL-A-025;
- GM-LL-B-025;
- MB 229.51;
- VW 502.00;
- VW 505.00;
- VW 505.01.
Versatility and functionality
GM-5W30 engine oil is manufactured synthetically to meet technological requirements, the main of which is the maximum economy of gasoline and the protection of the engine from exhaust gases that clog it. The quality of GM 5W30 is evidenced by the fact that it itself is the basis for the Dexos2 standard of oils with a viscosity class of 5W30.
The original GM-5W30 oil is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines. It contains additives that clean the engine from carbon deposits formed during the development of fuel. Thus, this high-tech fluid contributes to saving gasoline, the safety of the oil filter and the car engine. According to motorists, it can, in principle, be replaced with a new one after 10 thousand kilometers, although standard technology involves doing this every 7.5 thousand kilometers.
Synthetic or semi-synthetic?
Novice drivers often doubt: which GM-5W30 synthetic or semi-synthetic oil is more suitable for their car? Indeed, gm oils are now popular on both semi-synthetic and synthetic bases. As an example, the first group includes GM-10w40, GM General Motors DEXRON VI, and the second group includes XENUM OEM-Line GM Dexos2 5W30, XENUM OEM-Line GM Dexos2 5W30 oils. It is noteworthy that the GM-5W30 engine oil in question is manufactured in both versions.
The choice between them is determined by the peculiarity of a particular brand of car, namely: is it suitable for its engine to use synthetic motor oil, which has a fairly aggressive additive package that is effective for removing carbon deposits. A softer effect on the internal metal surfaces of the engine is provided by GM-5W30 oil (semi-synthetic).
Frost resistance test
The following oil freeze test for GM-5W30 oil is available from automotive websites. It was produced by taking it from the engine of a car with a mileage of 9 thousand km. (the oil turned out to be dark, with the smell of fumes) and then placed in a powerful refrigerator at -25 o C.
Even at a low temperature, the oil turned out to be efficient and effective: the physical properties of the oil that withstood such a worthy mileage have not changed much (we visually compare it with new oil). Thus, GM-5W30 can be used for quite a long time even in winter. In addition, it, chilled, if poured onto a napkin, can be completely absorbed into it.
Motor oil is not a panacea
The characteristic of GM-5W30 oil, given by General Motors, highlights such a physical property as resistance to air penetration into it. Thanks to him, in this MM, even when in contact with air, neither bubbles nor foam will form. This liquid reliably provides the beginning of the movement of the car, and also protects its parts from oxidation.
However, if an engine repair is needed (its parts rub, and extraneous sounds are heard), then no MM (including GM-5W30 engine oil) will protect it. The sound can be either metallic or whistling:
2. Metal sound:
- increased clearance between the crankshaft and thrust half rings, in connecting rod or main bearings;
- wear of hydraulic lifters;
- wear of gas distribution parts (bushings, valves, camshaft parts);
- wear of pistons in cylinders.
1. Whistling sound:
- bearing wear;
- generator drive belt wear.
Reviews of motorists
When you get acquainted with the Internet forums of motorists, it becomes noticeable that gm 5w30 oil is well-deservedly popular with them. Feedback from drivers about him testifies: replacing it, on average, is practiced after 10 thousand kilometers. They fill it in engines for several years in a row, without changing the brand of oil, the drivers of the cars mentioned in the above list.
It is universal: motorists use it not only to service the gas distribution mechanism in its operating cycle, but also as a hydraulic fluid. It is quite fluid, retains its structure at high and low temperatures. Its film reliably protects the engine from corrosion, dirt, water.
About fakes
According to reviews from motorists, in relation to the original oil from General Motors, there are approximately 50% fakes on sale. It is characteristic that when it is used in frosty weather, such a fake loses its working properties and thickens, acquiring the consistency of vaseline or even butter.
The driver can easily check the latter circumstance using a car dipstick immersed in a similar imaginary gm 5W30 oil. The price of its original version is not at all inexpensive: 1800 - 2000 rubles. per canister 5l. Drivers choose it for its favorable price / quality ratio.
In addition, 5W30 viscosity synthetic oil, despite its low viscosity, has high performance properties. Genuine GM-5W30 oil does not leave deposits on the engine, and also does not freeze at low temperatures. Therefore, to ensure proper engine operation, motorists do not need to mix or combine it with other oils, it is recommended to monitor oil consumption.
High-quality engine oil ensures long-term good operation of the car engine. Therefore, the choice of lubricating fluid motorists should be treated with appropriate care. After all, with its hasty purchase from hand or at dubious outlets, drivers run the risk of purchasing either a low-quality product or an outright fake (counterfeit).
How not to make a mistake with the choice
Numerous automotive sites never tire of reminding drivers that GM-5W30 engine oil has its own signature design. Its car enthusiasts should know. The main degrees of its difference from a fake are well known to drivers:
- hologram (GM inscription also flips);
- neat seams;
- round seal with company logo on the lid;
- teeth on the end of the lid;
- at the bottom of the package - a square pyramid in the style of 3D;
- HDPE inscription i.e. the box is recyclable;
- production date on the box - at least a month;
- description book.
Fake oil GM-5W30, unfortunately, is found both in traditional trade and in online stores. Therefore, drivers are advised to carefully inspect the purchased goods. In addition to the above details, it is worth paying attention to the serial number of the canister.
If the original Dexos2 modification engine oil most often contains the API SN / CF marking (car enthusiasts know that the SN prefix has been used since 2015), then API SM / CF is often found on the counterfeit (where there is an outdated SM prefix that has not been used by General Motors for a long time in their labels).
It is GM-5W30 Dexos2 oil that is distinguished by similar markings.
The buyer should pay attention to the mutual contrast of the text and background on the canister label. At the same time, the corporate identity does not imply halftones, fuzziness, print grains. The most characteristic feature of the truth of this product of the automotive industry is its high-tech hologram. On fakes, instead of it there is a simple silver decoy sticker.
About oil filling
On average, 3.5 liters are used per filling. This can be clearly tracked using the scale located on the end side of the branded canister. However, if the driver noticed a flashing red light on the way, signaling a low oil level in the engine, then he, as a rule, turns to a technical center. It uses proprietary oil GM-5W30, bottled in 200-liter barrels. It is this container, with the original factory marking, that is also used by official dealerships. The obvious advantage of this oil produced in Russia is also its very worthy five-year shelf life.
According to statistics, an increasing number of motorists prefer to use GM-5W30 Dexos2 oil for their car engines. However, even after its operation, thrifty summer cottage owners find a use for it.
Drivers of the older generation are in no hurry to pour it out, but carefully pour it into empty canisters. Summer residents treat wooden surfaces that come into contact with the soil with used oil. They can also lubricate the chainsaw, as well as soak rags, which then effectively repel rodents.
Conclusion
Synthetic motor oil GM-5W30 is currently in trend. Its characteristics are adapted for winter temperatures (down to -35 ° C). This MM is characterized by a moderate cost, stable fluidity over a wide range of temperatures, and the ability to clean engine carbon deposits. Drivers of a wide range of car brands have been using it for years.
An essential nuance in the use of GM-5W30 oil by drivers is its acquisition. Unfortunately, this high-quality technological product is often counterfeited. However, its factory packaging in branded canisters provides everything necessary for the correct choice of the degree of protection.
How to distinguish fake Opel GM Dexos 2 5W30 engine oil. Step-by-step instructions with photos, comparison of counterfeit with the original.
The photographs show the correct four-liter canister 19 42 002 (left) and a fake (right). The oil is very popular with Chevrolet car owners. Large sales volumes are the primary factor influencing the desire of criminals to engage in counterfeiting.
The first thing that made me study the suspicious specimen more closely was the not fully screwed lid. As a result, a small part of the contents leaked out. The lid was screwed all the way, but the backlash remained within 10-15 degrees. The real product does not move at all.
By the way, Rosneft's cover play is normal.
Let's move on to a more detailed comparison of canisters. The label on the counterfeit, both on the front side and the book on the back, does not differ from the original, the hologram is present and shimmers. No differences were found. None at all. Studied with a magnifying glass.
What unequivocally gives out a fake in the test sample is plastic. Strongly visible traces of molding (triangle above the label). This is a hallmark of almost all fakes with a similar canister shape: Nissan, Mazda.
Next photo. The right sample has a messy seam between the two halves. The same flaw is visible at the bottom of the canister, but not so clearly.
What else besides a bad seam should be alarming. The mold marks are again visible around the HDPE recycling pictogram. Instead of a square-pyramid with a hologram effect - the inscription Plysu. The letters at the Reg Des inscription are thicker, as are the oil level numbers. The stiffening ribs of the fake are cast indistinctly, rounded.
The following photo clearly shows the difference between the fake and the original using the quality of the plastic surface as an example. The counterfeit on the right has a non-smooth surface, with small shells.
A distinctive feature of the original canister is also the ability of the plastic to change color from yellowish to gray at different angles. When looking at the bottom at an angle, the upper half has a yellow tint. This feature of the counterfeit material is either absent or almost invisible.
Measured risks and numbers should not be rounded, but flattened, flatter.
And for a snack. The thickness of the plastic is not the same as the real one. Especially pumped up the corners. They literally shine through. A very slight pressure leaves a dent in the corner that does not straighten out.
It should be noted that Dexos manufactured by Lukoil is on sale (numbers 95599403 1l., 95599404 4l., 95599405 5l.) and it has a different design. Behind is not a booklet, but a regular sticker. The code is embossed, the application principle is the same as on Lukoil Lux.
The front side with the inscription Made in Russia. Otherwise, the differences are minimal.
The marking on the Plysu canister does not mean that it is a fake oil.
Plysu is a manufacturer of plastic containers and structures.Did some digging on the internet and this is what I found.
Here is the news from 2000 about Plysy https://www.plasteurope.com/news/PLY...AINERS_t17031/
here is a partial google translation of this news
"Plysu Containers is one of five Plysu divisions and accounts for about one third of the group's turnover. It has three plants in the Benelux and one in France, in addition to two in the UK. The other groups of divisions, all of which have their own manufacturing operations, are liquid products, personal care, brands and protective systems Plysu is part of the Nampak group in South Africa."Here is another article on the internet:
Recently, rumors have spread on the Internet that counterfeit GM oil can be identified by the marking of the canister: the square marking is the original, the inscription "Plysu" is a fake. We will try to clarify this issue by providing you with the answer from the European GM office.
What does the inscription Plysu mean on a container of engine oil?In fact, the Plysu inscription on the bottom and the numbers on the bottom front are not only on fakes. On the back, on the white label at the bottom right, there can be two options for the inscription: Made in EU (European Union) and Made in EC (European Community).
Plysu is a world-renowned company that specializes in plastics, structural profiles, safety plastics, plastic containers (including canisters). At the bottom of the container of motor oil, which is sold in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic, the manufacturer of the container - Plysu - is almost always written, as well as the batch number. Plysu Containers (Great Britain) is on par with Dow Chemical, Graham Packaging, British Petroleum, BASF, Bayer and Henkel in terms of the scale of its plastic products.
Containers for the same batch of engine oil can be produced at different factories and by different companies, and this is normal. If instead of the usual square for you, the inscription Plysu flaunts, this is not necessarily a fake, but a container manufacturer.
Europe's response to PlysuThe European office of GM has provided full information on this issue on the example of the item GM 5W-30 DEXOS2 LONGLIFE (art. 1942003-93165557) 5L.

P.S. I think it is more profitable for counterfeiters to fake expensive brands. there will be no profitability on cheap ones ... 100 ruble bills are not forged by anyone.
