JAKARTA - Machine oil is one of the important components of vehicles that must be considered for their life and authenticity, because it can be useful as a lubricant or engine cooler and much more, which affects the vehicle's performance itself. Speaking of engine oil, currently there are increasingly fake (fake engine tracks) in packages that are almost similar, from designs, labels, caps to QR Codes. Motul Indonesia, as one of the players in the segment, explained how to distinguish the original and fake ones. "In the package of Motul's engine oil, there is a QR Code that can be scanned to ensure its authenticity, and every available code can only be used a maximum of five times, and after that it will be difficult to scan again," said Bayu Kurniawan Marketing Director of PT Motul Indonesia Energy Bayu Kurniawan, to the media crew some time ago. Bayu further said that to ensure the authenticity of the oil, you can buy at the Motul Indonesia partner workshop and if you are forced to buy online, you can buy an official marketplace for Motul. "It can be used at Motul's partner workshop to buy oil, but usually if those who use Motul often can feel it when riding a motorcycle, if the engine sounds rough or heats up quickly, it can be fake," added Bayu. Meanwhile, as previously reported, PT Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing (YIMM) also shared how to distinguish real and fake engine oil lubricants. "To differentiate, we can see everything from the packaging side, namely the label," said Marketing Plan Part of Division Manager of PT YIMM Novianto when met in Jakarta, when he opened satisfied with last March. Novianto said, when the label with the code is scanned, the serial number and the number of components in the packaging will be released. In addition, the original writing and design fonts are also special.

"Kalau dari Yamaha itu memiliki desain font khusus tidak ada yang sama dengan font lain, itu bisa menjadi acuan," ujar Novianto. So make sure not to buy the wrong engine oil, so that vehicle performance remains optimal.
