5W-30 / Thailand

Two shelves.
Similar prices. Different rules.

Prices are close. Official stores charge more. Sales counts cannot be compared.

Read sales counts separately. Shopee shows a moving, roughly monthly window. Lazada shows a lifetime total. Never add them together.

The Lazada price comparison includes only prices that do not need checking.

These captures use different dates and search rules: they show the listings we reviewed, not how big each market is.

02 / Price per litre — the headline

Shopee uses the corrected prices already shown in this site’s listings: the discounted price where supplied, otherwise the full price. Lazada prices are worked out from listing titles. Prices shown here are rounded to whole baht; these are different sets of listings.

Typical prices are close: 318 Baht per litre on Shopee and 335 on Lazada. Shopee’s reviewed listings reach a higher top price.

03 / Official stores charge more — on both

ShopeeLazada
Badged storesMall · 465 Baht per litreBadged storesLazMall · 375 Baht per litre
Everyone elsePreferred / Preferred+ · 300 Baht per litre
Established · 330 Baht per litre
New · 271 Baht per litre
Everyone elseNon-LazMall · 330 Baht per litre

Shopee: this expanded listing set does not establish whether Mall stores sell more.

Lazada · lifetime bottles sold: LazMall accounts for 11% of listings and 20% of bottles sold, so these stores still sell well.

Official stores sit at the expensive end on both platforms. Higher prices do not always mean fewer bottles sold.

04 / How the platforms behave differently

ShopeeLazada
Store types4 badge groups: Mall, Preferred+, Preferred, no badgeStore types1 flag: LazMall. No store tiers published.
Sales counterA moving window, roughly monthly; rises and falls sharplySales counterA total since the listing began; only rises
Which listings showFairly stable day to dayWhich listings showSearch rotates heavily: 104 of our 173 listings were absent from search 5 hours later. Their product pages were still live.
What we rank byFollowers: the sales count changes too sharplyWhat we rank byBottles sold since the listing began: the count only rises and closely follows review counts

Shopee example: one listing’s counter fell from 12,269 to 1,819 bottles in 24 hours.

Lazada pace: about 0.2 bottles a day per listing added to the lifetime count.

The same product, but different platform rules: keep the shelves on separate pages instead of merging the listings.

05 / Do the same shops sell on both?

ShopeeLazada
Shop nameAUTO CAR SHOPShop nameAUTOCARSHOP
Shop nameSrisiamShop nameSrisiam
Shop nameTKD · ที.เค.ดีShop nameTKD · ทีเคดี
Shop namewittaya_centerShop nameWittayaCenter

Different spellings make simple name matching miss shops. Missing from a capture does not mean missing from Lazada: WittayaCenter is on Lazada but was missed in our 19 Sept capture.

The earlier shop check confirmed these 4 on both platforms. The current Shopee list has 55 shops; overlap has not been rechecked across that full set.

These limits come from what the platforms publish and what each snapshot captured; the figures cannot support every comparison.
