I believe that every owner will take care of his car after buying a car, in addition to driving carefully and cautiously to avoid bumps, every once in a while to send the car for maintenance. In the process of car maintenance, changing oil is a project that often needs to be carried out, so some merchants will make a fuss about the oil to maximize the benefits. Many car owners do not understand these twists and turns, and they are accidentally cut by the merchants.
There are several common routines when buying oil
First, the origin of the oil
Usually, this routine is aimed at some car owners who use luxury brand models. Merchants will say that some foreign brands of oil are the so-called "origin oil", directly upgrading the simple foreign brand oil to a grade, and the price is of course rising with the water.
The vast majority of luxury car owners who do not know much about engine oil are also very much eating this set, believing that their origin oil is more suitable for their own cars, so they will be more inclined to buy this "origin oil" in the mouth of merchants. As for the high cost of oil, it is usually not within the consideration of these car owners, after all, a luxury car is less than five or six hundred thousand, and a thousand pieces of oil is not unacceptable.
Second, niche brands
Due to the relatively late start of the development of the domestic automobile industry, the domestic automobile market has indeed been the world of joint venture cars and imported cars for a long time in the past, so some car owners will be more willing to buy when the merchant recommends a particularly unpopular "niche foreign brand" oil for them.
But in fact, this kind of oil may be a very ordinary foreign brand oil, some people will register a brand abroad, wait for the purchase of oil and then repack, and finally loaded into small bottles to transport back to China, it has become a foreign brand of this niche brand. In fact, this is the standard new bottle of old wine, the quality of the oil in the bottle is also very ordinary, and it is a second-tier brand in China at most. However, due to the approval of a layer of foreign skin, the price has also risen, even more expensive than many large domestic brands of motor oil.
Third, special engine oil
This routine is used for some special models. In recent years, many car companies have made great efforts in the development of automotive technology and have also launched many special engines. These engines usually have relatively high requirements for oil, and some engines burn oil very badly, and even Honda's engines need special additives, which gives many unscrupulous businesses an opportunity to take advantage of. Import some foreign third- and fourth-line brand oils, and declare to the owner that this is a special oil for a certain model, which is perfectly adapted to the owner's model.
For the vast majority of car owners, the safest way is to drive the car to the 4S shop to change the oil, although the cost of the 4S shop is not particularly beautiful, but it can ensure the quality of the oil, but also to ensure that the owner of the car to buy is definitely the real thing. Secondly, you can also buy some domestic oil from large manufacturers, in fact, there are many so-called "original engine oil" are outsourced to these domestic manufacturers, and finally a new trademark becomes the so-called original engine oil, the function is actually the same. Of course, if there are car owners who still feel that this oil is too expensive, they can also go to some large importers, at least to ensure that they can buy the real goods.
For ordinary family cars, as long as they do not use fake engine oil, they can usually meet our daily needs. Therefore, car owners should still try to choose large brands of oil when choosing oil, rather than blindly believing in niche brands and so-called original factories.
