LIQUI MOLY Adds QR Verification to Oil Products

LIQUI MOLY is adding another layer of security to its oil products with a new digital verification system designed to help customers confirm authenticity in real time. Each oil canister now features an individual QR code on the lid, giving buyers a fast way to check whether the product is genuine.

The company first introduced QR codes on oil canister lids in 2023 as a traceability measure, using unique batch numbers to help identify product origin. Since mid-May, LIQUI MOLY has updated those codes with a new version featuring a green frame that cannot be copied. The updated QR codes are now being used across all LIQUI MOLY oil canisters.

With the new system, customers can scan the code on the canister lid to verify the product immediately. Along with confirming authenticity, the scan also provides additional product information, including details about proper use and application.

If something appears irregular during the scan, the process moves into LIQUI MOLY’s authentication app for a second check. From there, the app determines whether the product is genuine or counterfeit. If a counterfeit is detected, users are directed to a reporting form so LIQUI MOLY can investigate and take further action.

“Like all lubricant manufacturers, we are constantly faced with the worldwide threat of counterfeit products and we take legal action whenever possible. The quality of our oils makes them a popular target. Counterfeit products cause financial losses, undermine customers’ trust, and, in some cases, can lead to engine damage or even put users’ health at risk,” explains Marco Esser, Marketing Director at LIQUI MOLY.

“We aim to take an active approach to this issue. The new digital real-time check is intended to reduce the number of counterfeit products while providing certainty for our business and private customers. There is one thing you can rely on: If it says LIQUI MOLY, the product delivers proven LIQUI MOLY quality.”
