And Honda Aus only sells the mineral FEO. They don't sell this:

I saw that 100% syn Ultra Gold in Singapore. Honda really should sell that in Australia. It was around the same price as Mobil 1 in Singapore.

That's because Mobil1 and Ultra Gold are both imported into Singapore. Honda's FEO is made here (oe nearby), same with Mobil1 silver. If it was imported, it would be a similar price to Mobil1 Gold.

If it was sold here I reckon Honda dealers would start recommending it for more modern Hondas and I bet they would say it being 100% syn is a benefit (as opposed to the current position of saying FEO is the best for the car).

I wish they did sell it here. Then I wouldn't bring my own oil. My dealer was using Magnatec 10w-40 mineral oil!
