Ministry delays mandatory certification for engine oils to October

PETALING JAYA: The enforcement of the regulation mandating engine oil products sold in Malaysia to be certified has been postponed, says the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry.

Its director-general (enforcement), Datuk Azman Adam, said the enforcement of the Trade Descriptions Order (Certification and Marking of Engine Oil for Motor Vehicles) 2024 will begin in October instead.

It had initially come into force on April 7.

“The ministry received applications and feedback from engine oil industry players and associations on challenges in adhering to this, especially finishing existing stock on the market.

“Hence, the ministry has agreed to delay the enforcement order for six months, beginning April 7,” he said in a statement today.
