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?

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?
I don't even think that most anime otaku in Japan own cars. This is one of those WTF!? risks in advertising.
lol Oil WTF---why OIL i dont understand why someone shoud buy lucky star oil...this dosent make sense
Dude...powered by moe.
LOL
Most anime otakus in the lower east coast do.
(the same people who do Kigurumi and all that are rich bastards.)
They'll prolly go with "Moetrol" (Moe Petrol) next...
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.
Why exactly is engine oil scented?...
It's marketed to LOOK LIKE engine oil, but is actually just scented oils.
wat a coincidence. i need some engine oil right now. all i would need then is a luckystar oil filter ya?
no kagamin pic?
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
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
You know what? I loled. Hard.
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!
AMEN!!! DO WANT moar Nanoha!
Whoa, you have sharp eyes.
*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??
DO WANT!
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!
me to any one one know if there is lucky satr oil for two stroke engines???
Something is wrong with Japan.
That's why they are awesome.
For ronery otaku who can't take it any more to anhero with.
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^^
Wow this is like 10 times more expensive than the cheap stuff that I use.
This'll be a big laugh in Detroit. xD
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.
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.
The plane, desu~
Wasn't there already a pokemon airplane?
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
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!
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....
Madness.
MADNESS?
THIS
IS
JAPAN
Madness... This is Japan!
...where's Kagamin...?
On the oil filter.
I don't think tsundere oil sounds assuring so maybe that's why she's missing.
You guys got it wrong. The other girls would be inside the Engine tank... will Kagamin will be on your car seat, gagged.
next should be ita-undergarmet
How about they call a Star on the sky the "Lucky Star"?
I think this is what they really meant when they said that anime will boost their economy, aaaaah gawd this is just going too far on useless anime products... -_-'
well shit, I want Lucky Star engine oil next time I need to change it....DO WANT!
Delicious drink- wait, engine oil??
The mint one is 5W40, huh? That's the right Oil for my car.
Must have.
I lol'd.
They forgot Kagamin. Those advertizing pricks forgot Kagamin.
Nothing is sacred...
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...
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.
Yes! Now your car can be invigorated by the power of Konata and friends!
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...
"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...
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!
I don't see kagamin..
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!
Peach scent... O__O WHAAAT? Who would like to smell motor oil? O__O
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
Best plan ever! Now Otaku can burn themselves to death or drink the engine oil to get closer to the promise land.
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*
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.
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
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)

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.)
Looks more like detergent bottles than engine oil lol.
HOLY CRAP! I MUST ORDER THIS FOR MY CAR NOW!!!!!
And Im gonna totally drink some of it :D
Hahahah there so rich i think there messing with us to see if itll sell lol
I WOULD SO PUT THIS IN MY CAR.
I'd Yui-fy my car with this.
