Modern lubricant prices are rising rapidly. Therefore, everyone is trying to save money, hoping to find the desired combination of "cheaper and better." Such requests do not leave scammers unanswered, and they offer counterfeit mobil super 3000 5W40 engine oil instead of the original. An inattentive car owner, buying fake products, can harm the engine with his own hands. To avoid such troubles and accurately distinguish the original from a fake, it is necessary to carefully inspect the packaging.
Determining the main differences step by step
The most attractive for all kinds of fakes are the Mobil Super 3000 x1 5W40, Mobil Super 5W30 and Mobil 1 0W40 lines. It happens that scammers even twist the original caps and try not to violate the integrity of the packaging. The original lubricant is removed and the canister is filled with the questionable liquid. But it is not possible to keep the factory seal under the neck. Traces of smudges testify to the carrying out of adventurous machinations. These and other signs, upon close examination, will indicate the presence of a falsified product.
Cap is the first signal
The cover is one of the first indicators of a counterfeit. Latest and updated editions of Mobile are equipped with a redesigned cover. It is now equipped with a small watering can. To successfully remove the cover from the original mobil super 3000 5W40, you must strictly follow the algorithm shown on it. The required direction of opening is indicated by the corresponding arrows. There are no irregularities on the visible side of the lid, which indicates a good quality of plastic.
Sophisticated equipment is used to create the cover of the original Mobile. And for fake manufacturers to acquire such equipment is not handy. Therefore, the counterfeit oil is in flat lid canisters. There are no drawings on it.
To distinguish a fake from an original, you need to raise the container with lubricant to eye level, look at the lid. It's so good to look at the security seal. It is installed in order to prevent third-party opening of the canister. A ripped off ribbed plastic tape means the product has already been opened. In such cases, it is already doubtful to guarantee that the original oil remains in the container. The absence of a seal or expansion of the lid indicates that a fake had to be met.
Facade label
The print quality of the label of the genuine Mobile Super 3000 5W40 does not give rise to any complaints. The general image and its individual elements should be distinguished by clarity, evenness, and bright color contrast. The text should be easily legible. The letters are printed exactly, without distortion. All inscriptions and designations on the label must be easy to read.
The new labels feature a car image. On the original label, all the inscriptions placed on the car are clearly visible. The letters are legible and easy to read.
Back label
After a detailed examination of the cover and front label, you need to proceed to the analysis of the back (back) sticker. In the corporate version, it consists of two layers. The original version has an arrow drawn in red and white under the barcode. It is positioned in the lower left corner, and its point is directed very clearly towards the upper right corner. It is easy to identify fake oil by the fact that the arrow image is mirrored. If you can see that the tip of the arrow is pointing towards the upper left corner, then you can no doubt distinguish a fake oil. The place where the drawn arrow is located has an elongated shape.
The arrow explains how to tear off the top label in Mobile. Pull the corner towards you. Another sticker is found under the top layer. It contains text. It must have a high quality print so that all letters are easy to read. The top layer of the back label of the mobil original should peel off easily and evenly. Fake oil can be distinguished by the fact that the outer part of the label comes off with an imprint of the text placed on the bottom.
The counterfeit has a single label. Containers containing counterfeit oil have adhesive residues at the edges of the label. Swindlers are not very worried about the quality of the glue and the way the labels are applied. The reasons are the same as in the cases with the lid: a banal saving on expensive special equipment. One label tightly glued or carelessly glued on will give out fake oil.
The printed information on the back label is duplicated in 4 languages:
- English;
- Kazakh;
- Russian;
- Ukrainian.
The upper layer of the back label contains information in English and Russian. The inner layer of this mobil contains text in Kazakh and Ukrainian. Another must-have is the comparison of Mobil Super 3000 5W40 and Mobil 1 0W40 in the form of a table.
There is a logo at the top of the rear label and a viscosity icon below it. In the original version, they are clear. Noticeable pixelation or blurring of the image indicates poor print quality. Therefore, they are a sign of the dubious origin of the liquid.
Container quality (cans)
The liquid claiming to replace the original oil is packed in low-grade canisters. The original container is molded from high quality plastic. On a genuine canister there are no defects, traces of carelessly handicraft soldering.
The color of the canister and the lid of a genuine Mobile is completely the same. The canister and lid of a real mobil must have a graphite color. The plastic of the original canister is smooth, without roughness. However, it has a slightly matte texture.
Genuine engine oil fits into a canister with a smooth and even seam. A fake can be distinguished by a non-uniform soldering.
Handle shape
The shape of the original handle is equipped with transverse notches. Between them are even rectangles filled with rough pimples. Due to this, the canister is held in the hand confidently, does not slip.
Reading the Batch Code
At the bottom of the original mobil 3000 5W40 canister, the Batch code must be printed. This designation contains the following passport data encrypted in Latin letters and numbers:
The original Mobile's Batch-code must begin with the letters G or N. On real canisters, the Batch-code is applied by ordinary inkjet printing. Therefore, it is allowed to partially erase or smear.
Sometimes a clever counterfeit is very difficult to identify. But if you follow the suggested advice carefully, you can avoid falling into the scammers' networks. The indicated indirect factors helped more than one car owner to avoid troubles associated with low-grade engine oils when operating a car.
When selecting the optimal lubricating fluid that is suitable for carburetor and diesel engines, the mobile super 3000 15w40 oil has characteristics that meet all modern quality requirements.
Synthetic motor oil mobile super 3000 5w40 is created using a special trisynthetic technology based on three patented basic elements. Combined with a high performance additive package, mobil provides exceptional performance.

How to distinguish a fake
The high cost of motor oils on the market forces drivers to look for places where they can buy cheaper. The result of such a search may be the purchase of a low-quality product that will negatively affect the engine's robot. Therefore, before buying a mobile 3000 5w40, you need to know how to distinguish a fake.
The manufacturers themselves told the simple rules of how to distinguish a fake mobile 3000 5w40 oil.
Signs of falsification
Popular brands for creating counterfeits are mobil super 3000 × 1 5w, mobil super 3000 5w 40 and mobil 3000 10w 40. Usually, a capacity of 4 liters is chosen for counterfeit.
In order to distinguish an original from a fake, when visually inspecting a product, you need to pay attention to a number of signs.
Lid integrity
The first sign by which the genuine material can be identified is the lid. In the last years of production, mobil 1 has been releasing products with an updated cover design. For ease of use, it is equipped with a special watering can. On the top of the lid there is a schematic diagram of the opening algorithm.
To modernize the lid, special equipment is used, which is not affordable for counterfeit manufacturers. Therefore, the fake is produced with a regular cover.
Additional protection is provided by a security seal, which is installed to prevent third-party opening. The seal looks like a plastic tape attached to the bottom of the lid. A broken seal means that the cover has already been opened.
Label decoration
Front label of original mobil oil made from quality material. All inscriptions must be legible and easy to read. The overall image has a vivid color gamut.
The back of mobil 5w40 super 3000 is made of a double-layer label. At the bottom of the canister is a barcode with an arrow drawn pointing towards the upper right side. The arrow indicates in which direction to open the label. It is easy to distinguish a fake mobile super 3000 5w40 in the direction of the arrow. In the fake version, the arrow has a mirror image.
After opening the top layer, another sticker with text is visible. The text is distinguished by excellent print quality, uniformity and clarity.
The typed text is duplicated in four languages:
- english, Russian - from the outside;
- kazakh, Ukrainian - on the inner layer.
The top layer of the mobile Super 3000 label opens easily, without text imprints.
Due to costly resources, a fake mobile is produced with a single label with traces of glue on the edges.
Another prerequisite is the presence of a comparison table between mobil 3000 5w40 and mobile 3000 10w 40.
Capacity quality
The branded canister is made on special equipment from high quality plastic. The manufactured container has a smooth shape with a perfectly even seal. The lid and canister are painted in the same color.
Batch code recognition
Batch code is inkjet printed on the bottom of the canister. With this method of printing, partial erasure of the code is allowed. Code marking necessarily begins with the letter G or N.
In this code, the following information is encrypted:
- batch number;
- date of manufacture;
- shelf life.
It is difficult to identify a well-made fake. But guided by the signs listed above, you can recognize fake material and protect the engine from oil of dubious quality.

Delvac lubricant mix guarantees some of the best performance, including the latest engines. This motor lubricant is recommended for a wide range of applications and climatic conditions typical for the transportation of goods in a wide variety of industries. This fluid meets all API requirements.
Delvac's excellent performance is the result of long-term collaborative research with major automakers. They are based on the use of modern advances in the field of motor lubrication.
Today's most powerful low-emission diesels are highly soot-generating and operate at a variety of temperatures, which significantly increases the need for highly efficient lubricating fluids. Reducing the working clearances of motors leads to a significant decrease in the consumption of motor lubricant.
As a result, the renewal of the set of additives in the lubricating mixture occurs more rarely due to the fact that the volume of fresh oil is less. When approaching the combustion chamber, due to the higher placement of the piston rings, the liquid is exposed to high-temperature effects, which significantly increases the heat load on the lubricant.
Mobile oil Delvac 1 5W-40 is distinguished by excellent performance even at very high temperatures. The grease is compatible with conventional mineral lubricants.
