Mandatory labeling of lubricants and special automotive fluids in the "Honest Sign" system has been approved by the Russian government. All participants in the circulation of these goods must be registered in the information system from March 1 next year. Journalist Maxim Kadakov drew attention to this. According to him, oil labeling will begin on September 1, 2025.
Less than a month has passed since the proposal to introduce mandatory oil labeling. I then suggested that the experiment would be considered successful. And now it has happened.
The auto journalist is sure that mandatory oil labeling will not solve the problem of counterfeiting. The point is that the movement of goods will be tracked, not its quality. Kadakov emphasizes that the introduction of labeling will affect the rise in the price of oil. However, only by a few percent.
The auto expert believes that small players will soon leave the automotive oil market. It will be unprofitable for them to label products. Along with them, high-quality oil will disappear, but imported through "gray" imports. And after that, key brands may begin to adjust prices. This cannot be ruled out either.
