Can you post another picture with a white background for better judgement. That oil looks second hand from where I'm sitting.

Both jugs sealed (the plastic cap and the foil seal) and purchased from Midas Nelspruit. The rest of the oil was a bit cleaner - that was the 2nd last 500ml I poured out of the jug. Will post a better pic later.

Seems to me you got the "bottom of the barrel" there...

I'd take it back for a replacement!

There should be no need to shake or stir before use.

John,

What is the end of the story with that "dirty" looking oil?

Tonton, I plead guilty and request whipping. I have not gotten around to taking pics yet - have been away some time. Will try and do it this week. Would like to see if your Delo looks the same as mine.

Johan,

The oil I showed in the pic above was from the bottom of the new 5L can - not shaken or anything else. The rest looked like your oil. I reckon it must be some of their additives that settled at the bottom and thus gave the murky/cloudy look. Will see if I can take a pic this morning soemtime if time allows.

Also note the cans might hold more or less than 5L - one of my 5L cans held more than 5.5L of oil.
