How to distinguish a fake

Total, like any other manufacturer, is not immune from counterfeiting a certified product. Therefore, in order not to fall into the hands of scammers, when buying or delivering oil, we recommend focusing on the following indicators:

• The pot is made of thick plastic.
• The original cover is tightly closed on the protective ring, it will not be chipped or cracked.
• The cover of a fake can have a smooth and rough surface.

A certified manufacturer will never issue a label with external defects such as wrinkles.

• Also, the date of the spill is always printed on the original products, which indicates information about the manufacturer, the date of the spill, the article or code, tolerances and quality certificates;
• the certified manufacturer's label consists of two layers, which describe the operating instructions in different languages;
• the original must have three stripes on the bottom of the container, butted

Fraudsters do not sleep, they improve their skills in order to counterfeit high-quality products of world brands. We recommend buying motor oils only in the shops of official distributors of the Total company, only they can provide the proper quality certificates, making a purchase from them, the consumer does not risk being deceived.

The concern is not limited to the production of Total oil, it develops and produces original oils and process fluids for the manufacturer Renault under the Elf brand.
