Interesting. I haven’t heard they had additives in the oil to detect counterfeits. I assume the fluorescing behaves differently at 620nm and 580nm? I recall they had issues with counterfeits in some countries and have made attempts to combat it with packaging (e.g. specific letters on label fluorescing under UV, and currently their Scantrust app [0] validation tool). I’d be interested to know how it behaves, as having the oil itself fluoresce when not labeled as such might be annoying when using UV dyes for monitoring leaks. For example, I like to run LiquiMoly’s molygen every few changes to monitor changes in seeping on one of my older cars, but it is only helpful when i run the oil w/ dye after non-dyed oil.

not for counterfiet detection but for attribution in case of abuse.
