When Anime and Oil Collides

As you may know, Japanese always came out with crazy ideas be it a television program, fashion or even, in this case, a girlish motor oil. Featuring 3 underage hot looking chicks wearing short skirts on the label, this Lucky Star Eco Engine Oil came with peach smelling fragrance(!). It came in two grades, either 0W-30 or 5W-40 (which most probably are synthetics) and were tagged at ¥2,520/L. Both are API SM rated. Ok, while the oil spec may look decent, the label on the package failed tremendously. I mean, people may get confused between this oil and kid's shampoo. Some more, it's going to look weird when you see some dude that you know which owned such a bad ass car queuing at the counter to pay for this oil which pretty much look like Sailor-moon kinda-like personal lubricant. This oil might be a direct competitor for the famous Ultraman Oil. As you may know, 3 chicks is always gonna win when competing with a man in tight whitish spandex with blinking light on his chest.
