1. Comparison of popular brands and prices of engine oil on Taobao

By analyzing the top 10 best-selling motor oil products on Taobao, we found that the three major brands Mobil, Shell, and Castrol dominate, but the price differences are significant. The following is a side-by-side comparison of popular engine oils:
| Brand | Model | Taobao average price (yuan/4L) | Official flagship store price (yuan/4L) |

| Shell | Heineken Extraordinary 5W-40 | 265 | 369 |
| Castrol | Extreme protection 0W-20 | 320 | 450 |
2. The three major issues that consumers are most concerned about
1.Difficult to tell true from false:Some users have reported that low-priced engine oil has problems such as rough packaging and abnormal security codes, especially products from unofficial stores.
2.Performance differences:Some car owners have found that the same model of engine oil has different performance in low-temperature starting and noise control, which may be related to the source of the base oil.
3.After-sales guarantee:Official flagship stores generally support 7-day return and exchange without reason, but the return and exchange policies of third-party stores are uneven.
3. How to identify the authenticity of Taobao engine oil?
According to industry experts, you can reduce the risk of purchasing by:
| steps | Operation mode |
|---|---|
| 1. Channel selection | Prioritize brand official flagship stores or authorized stores |
| 2. Anti-counterfeiting verification | Scan the QR code on the bottle to the brand’s official website for verification |
| 3. Appearance inspection | The genuine packaging is clearly printed and the bottle seal is intact. |
4. Sharing of user actual test cases
The comparison test by Douyin user @爱车老王 shows:
- The Shell 5W-40 engine oil purchased on Taobao (unofficial store) showed slight carbon deposits after 5,000 kilometers;
- The engine oil from the official store of the same model maintains good lubricity, which proves the importance of channels.
5. Conclusions and suggestions
Taobao’s engine oil price advantage is obvious, but please note:
1.Be careful with products whose prices are more than 30% lower than the market price;
2.Give priority to stores with the "Fake one, pay ten" logo;
3.Keep proof of purchase for after-sales rights protection.
Generally speaking, the price-performance ratio of engine oil through Taobao's official channels is worthy of recognition, but third-party stores still need consumers to keep their eyes peeled.
