The latest inexplicable moe-anime product tie-in to make its bid for the at times excessively profligate otaku wallet emerges: here we have no less than “Lucky Star Eco Engine Oil”, replete with “added peach fragance.”
The ita-oil™ (or ita-yu™) is ¥2,520 a litre, available in both peach and mint. It goes on sale June 20th.
Konata warns those unfamiliar with fragant engine oil: “You can’t drink this stuff!”
Presumably this is intended for the itasha market, though given otaku proclivities it may just find itself decorating otaku rooms… Is there a product we will not see ita-fied?

Peach scent... O__O WHAAAT? Who would like to smell motor oil? O__O
but the packaging is look like a bottle of shampoo or some of juice drink only... especially the red one... look delicious...
It's a trap!
I don't see kagamin..
Working on cars is supposed to be manly.
American boys should play eroge. Only then will they be able to seperate the fiction from the real.
sorry, wrong article >_>
I'M SORRY, BUT I SIMPLY CANNOT ENDORSE THIS PRODUCT
First I laughed at Japan for the "Evangelion Sneakers". Then Japan punches me in the face again with Lucky Star Engine Oil. Your too much for me at times, but I still love Japan!
"Lucky Star Lubricants: for smooth pumping action that will certainly make her purr"
It comes with a free poster of a moe anthromorphic car on the back label, blushing and dripping.
I can totally picture this ad campaign in my mind...
if they need moe to sell eingine oil then it's probable crap
There's a Nanoha car next to the oil.

Nice Nanohaa Ita-car. Might have Lucky Star Ita-Yu in it.
By the way, when you post these articles, please let us know WHERE SUCH ITEMS CAN BE PURCHASED!
Well, another example of Japan showing its capitalist nature to the extreme again...
Yes! Now your car can be invigorated by the power of Konata and friends!
Best plan ever! Now Otaku can burn themselves to death or drink the engine oil to get closer to the promise land.
Hahahah there so rich i think there messing with us to see if itll sell lol
HOLY CRAP! I MUST ORDER THIS FOR MY CAR NOW!!!!!
And Im gonna totally drink some of it :D
I WOULD SO PUT THIS IN MY CAR.
I'd Yui-fy my car with this.
powered by moe, power by loli, and power by yuri. I am still clueless as to why this exists.
Looks more like detergent bottles than engine oil lol.
I dont think the fragrance is going to help with oil's quality in anyway. Quite the opposite.
The bottle is the only thing I want, the shit inside is never going near my car.
The sent of motor oil and peach/mint together in the same source dosen't attract me at all. *imagines a smell more funky than just motor oil*
headline: "LUCKY STAR OTAKU DIES FROM CONSUMING ENGINE OIL"
"...apparently he considered the fluid to be the collective vaginal juices of the lucky star cast..."
X2
xDD
THIS
will that make your car moe?
No, it will make your car Yui!
well, at least i can use the bottle to store syrups. (After i clean it, of course-- would be tricky.)
Why no Yui (Narumi - Konata's Cousin) on these ones ? She's one of the only driver in the anime. (And she drives like a pro/psycho)

Since when the fuck are you going to be smelling your engine's oil once it's in the damn car?
when you check your engine first thing in the morning before you drive. THe most basics of maintenance
When you change your oil, instead of the waxy yuck smell, you get peach and mint.
Makes sense in a wierd way.
Aside from being somewhat of an otaku, I'm also an amatuer racer.
It kindae nice that the engine smells differently when working on an engine (for hours on end), same way as when I tried putting biodiesel into a race prepped turbo diesel ford focus, the exhaust smells like a mcdonald's kitchen.
It... Does make sense...
i'm predicting that in a few years time we'll all be using lucky star products, from toilet paper to airplanes~
it's all part of a conspiracy to take over the world using lucky star.
Lucky Star Airplane... you know... that one actually sounds great XD
I saw a picture of a Rozen Maiden airplane once. Vinyls or shopped, I don't know, but it was awesome.
Wasn't there already a pokemon airplane?
The plane, desu~
Why would you need your car to smell like peaches/mint if everything under the hood will smell like metal anyways? Unless the fragrance is very strong.
It's for car diagnostic purposes!
1. Use this stuff, being extremely careful not to spill when you add it to your engine.
2. If your engine compartment smells like peaches, you know you've got an oil leak.
3. If your car exhaust smells like peaches, then you know your engine is burning oil (though I don't know if the peach scent would make it out past the catalytic converter).
Or, maybe the peach scent is aimed at women who change their oil but don't like the standard oil smell.
LOL d(^^)b
this is going just a tad too far in stupid advertising for more stupid shit. as if ita-rice wasn't bad enough, they had to ita-engine oil? how many ronery otaku actually cook their own rice? they eat cup noodles to save money. and ita-engine oil? most otaku don't even own a car! stupid idea is stupid.
Scented engine oil even. :D
Maybe use the ita-engine oil as fuel for the ita-rice! Problem solved, all otakus happy.
This'll be a big laugh in Detroit. xD
You watch...scented toilet paper is next!
In Mexico, they're selling scented toilet paper too.
