New HONDA FEO ULTRA Fully synthetic Engine Oil

[Fredoops]

I'm not sure If I'm picking up your tone incorrectly here... but I never once said that the FEO Ultra was a Group IV... I actually stated that it was very unlikely. I just asked if anyone could confirm it, nor did I state Castrol was the producer... CALTEX is the producer. Hence the Star...
.

Oops. I mis read your quote about the start.... my bad.
I think we're in agreement most of the way, except I'm more certain it wont be a group iv

No one on the forum said anything about the liquid engineering lab, which is good, same cant be said about the dealers who's trying to shove this oil down my throat when I'm there getting some brake fluid.

Now i read my post again I did sound pretty pissed off... sorry. Just getting pretty frustrated with all the marketing companies throw around. Back in the old days, Synthetic means synthetic... sigh.

This is of course true, the reason why I stated he is almost paying $100 for a group III as I'm unaware of a Honda Engine (unless internally built/track use) would use a 0w40 oil. Unless you had a built engine that required a 40 weight and you use a 0w weight because you live in a cold climate (ie. below freezing point). Considering in Australia none of our major/populated cities have "cold climates", I assumed he was referring to the 5w30, which is based on Group III.

Funny enough i was looking at the Honda manual, and it can actually take the 0w40, probably for the european and JDM market where it gets real cold.
