At least 4 cases in here where Mannol oils have been proven to not meet the displayed specifications.

Alarm bells in my eyes!

I discovered this organisation a year or two ago and I agree with you.

I get the sentiment, but I am only seeing 3.

1 x hydraulic fluid.

1 x Dot 4 brake fluid

1 x LONG LIFE engine oil - This is the only one that is being talked about and as it is LONG LIFE engine oil, I will still stick with it (not this actual one I use anyway) as I change every year & don't get anywhere near the actual suggested service life by any of the manufacturers vehicles that I service.

There’s also an ongoing investigation by the UK Trade Remedies Authority in relation to base oil dumping in the UK and ties to Russian product. This is having a knock on with other UK blenders who continue to purchase the best quality approved base stock and additives to ensure formulations can meet with OEM specifications.

That raises questions on quality, moral and ethical considerations on the brand.

Another interesting turn up on practices within Mannol.

The reporting of staff being told to relabel products to fulfill customer orders.

I’m sure by know people have worked out I work within the industry. Our team spends a huge amount of money and time with robust systems to provide a quality product to our customers.

At the other end of the spectrum, you have this.
