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.
It smells so good yet I can't drink it? WHY KONATA, WRYYYY??
Inb4 Icy saying: "this article needs moar lolis" (´∀`)
You can drink it though. I don't care what happens to you afterwards, but you can drink it, definitely.
"Quantum of Solace," right?
I'd drink it even if I wasn't in a desert.
OMG, you're right!
Madness.
MADNESS?
THIS
IS
JAPAN
Madness... This is Japan!
i wonder how this stuff stacks up against amsoil and mobil1. and scented?? what so you can smell it in your garage if ur car has an oil leak, or burnt peaches from your oil fumes?
that said, i still want some... for decoration or course. 5x the price of mobil1 isn't exactly cheap for just shits and giggles, especially in the form of motor oil....
Wow this is like 10 times more expensive than the cheap stuff that I use.
If you put this in your car, I hope it blows up.
Blows up and become lucky stars...
But it has a Peach Fragrance in it.
D:
yes, it makes your car smell good
You know what? I loled. Hard.
Fix'd
If you put this engine oil
it makes your car smell good because it has
Peach Fragrance in it.
then it blows up your car and
definitely.. definitely you'll see lucky stars
wat a coincidence. i need some engine oil right now. all i would need then is a luckystar oil filter ya?
no kagamin pic?
And I thought the scent stuff they use to trap Otaku in a shop was weird...
Yeah... anime advertising might be going a little too far now... scented engine oil, seriously?
Why exactly is engine oil scented?...
It's marketed to LOOK LIKE engine oil, but is actually just scented oils.
I don't even think that most anime otaku in Japan own cars. This is one of those WTF!? risks in advertising.
They'll prolly go with "Moetrol" (Moe Petrol) next...
Most anime otakus in the lower east coast do.
(the same people who do Kigurumi and all that are rich bastards.)
Dude...powered by moe.
LOL
Lol If You Ignore the text...
It looks like a Drink....
Red = Straw Berry Flavor
Green = Green Apple Flavor
...
Might Make Kids think thats a Drink....
why use ordinary oil when you can buy scented lucky star moe oil, at £50 extra, answer: The otaku effect.
lol Oil WTF---why OIL i dont understand why someone shoud buy lucky star oil...this dosent make sense
To me, it just funny they put "Dont Touch" sign as if anyone wanted to... lol
what i'm more curious about is the presence of Nanoha in the second picture. was there something else displayed there regarding Nanoha? want more of that!
*first Anon who mentioned the Nanoha sighting*
apparently if you scroll down a bit more, someone found out what it was. how in the world can they not have mentioned/posted an article on the Nanoha car which is pure awesomeness with Raging/Raising Heart plastered on the side of the car??
AMEN!!! DO WANT moar Nanoha!
Whoa, you have sharp eyes.
Wait, is it for penis engine or car engine?
Hurr, I don't want to have an automatic penis running on oil...Might as well get a vib, instead.
I don't know why there's a peach fragrance added. Japan sure is weird^^
For ronery otaku who can't take it any more to anhero with.
Something is wrong with Japan.
That's why they are awesome.
DO WANT!
me to any one one know if there is lucky satr oil for two stroke engines???
DO NOT
Would like to purchase and would offer a generous tip to the kind fellow loading up the silly old Rx7 FD3S with the Lucky Star decals.
Would Like Indeed!
Delicious drink- wait, engine oil??
well shit, I want Lucky Star engine oil next time I need to change it....DO WANT!
The mint one is 5W40, huh? That's the right Oil for my car.
Must have.
Nothing is sacred...
