LIQUI MOLY Launches Anti-Counterfeit QR Check

LIQUI MOLY introduces a new real-time QR code scan on oil canisters to verify authenticity and combat fake lubricants

Combating the Threat of Counterfeit Lubricants

The global automotive aftermarket is increasingly targeted by counterfeiters, leading to severe financial losses and potential engine damage for consumers. Recognizing this industry-wide threat, German lubricant specialist LIQUI MOLY has fundamentally upgraded its product security framework. To provide certainty and transparency for both business and private customers, the company has introduced a new, uncopiable digital test procedure integrated directly onto the canister lids of its motor oils.

Real-Time Digital Verification

Previously, LIQUI MOLY utilized QR codes primarily for tracing batch numbers and supply chain origins. However, the newly optimized system—visually distinguished by a green frame—enables instant, real-time product authentication. By simply scanning the QR code with a smartphone, consumers can immediately verify if the oil is a genuine LIQUI MOLY product.

If the initial scan detects any inconsistency, users are directed to a dedicated authentication application. A secondary scan within the app definitively confirms the product's legitimacy. Should a counterfeit be identified, the system immediately provides a contact form, allowing the user to report the fake product directly to LIQUI MOLY's legal and quality assurance teams for further action. This proactive measure ensures that when a canister bears the LIQUI MOLY name, it guarantees the proven German quality the brand has delivered since 1957.
