Osan City to Conduct Free Counterfeit Oil Analysis Service on the 7th

Osan City will conduct a free counterfeit oil analysis service together with the Korea Petroleum Management Authority on the 7th.

The city will conduct the free counterfeit oil analysis service at the Osan City Hall parking lot to verify on-site whether oil is counterfeit. Should the analysis results indicate counterfeit oil, the city plans to crack down on illegal gas stations through back-tracing.

Separately, the Korea Petroleum Management Authority designates 1,800 auto repair shops nationwide and is conducting free counterfeit oil analysis services.

Repair shops collect oil samples from the vehicles in question and send them to the Korea Petroleum Management Authority for analysis, notify individuals of the results, and the service is available free of charge.

A city official said, "As we enter an era of high oil prices, some gas stations are distributing cheap counterfeit oil, and consumer damage cases are increasing," and urged citizens to exercise caution.
