Engine Oil Counterfeiting Ring Uncovered in Russia

A counterfeiting ring in Moscow was busted by Russian police last month. The illegal business focused on making counterfeit engine oil and packaging it in plastic containers used by popular brands like Shell, Total, Mobil, Elf, Castrol, and several other brands. They even faked OEM engine oil by bottling their product in containers that were labeled with brand specific elements for Ford, Mazda, Nissan, Volkswagen, BMW, GM and Toyota.
