[VT3C]

Remind me NOT to ever buy YOUR Type R hahaha.. 15,000kms on one lot of oil ? phwoarr !! it's not a ford falcon yo ! and the oil isnt MAGIC hahaha.

Your source?

I can't push this further than "what my fathers mate" told me. It's exactly that , that my dads mate that works at caltex was mortified how much the mark up was and told me so.


Anyone care to run tests in a laboratory ???

Strange.

I seem to recall that Honda FEO mineral 5W-30 was produced using a Castrol base stock with a Honda supplied additive package.

[bennjamin]

FEO is 10w-30w - typo ?!

FEO is 10w-30w - typo ?!

Yep.... sorry 10W30. I had the new "full synthetic" on my mind.

I wonder if it's worth changing from Mobil 1 0W40 to this new Honda synthetic? Pricing for the FEO Ultra is $59.95 per 5l at my local Honda dealer.

So whats the verdict on the FEO Ultra ?
About to change the oil on my newly purchased 98 Accord 3L

Local dealer quoted me..
FEO Ultra Engine oil $33
Drain plug washer $1
Hamp oil filter $$22
Honda ATF $20 per ltr.

are you 100% sure that the FEO oil and the Calibre are the same?
don't tell me i've been using that shit in my car...

as stated......its what ive "heard" - the coincidence that FEO and FEO ULTRA are manufactured by caltex , and that the same oils rated 10/30w and 5/30w come in as a budget oil at super cheap auto perhaps is just a coincidence.(perhaps surplus stock?)
To the eyes they appear to be the same. Its up to a lab test environment to really tell if they are truly one and the same tho !

[Super-DA9]

I work at supercheap, I don't know if FEO is the same, but Calibre IS made by Caltex, it has the Caltex logo on the back, there is also Calibre Semi and Fully Synthetic available now. But to be honest I'd steer clear of any calibre products except the tools, there's a reason it's all cheap. lolz

[TheSaint]

Feo ultra has the caltex logo on the lid lol

it says on the back that its pretty much the same as caltex oil but with honda's altered recipe and higher quality control
