That's a tough one... unfortunately, I don't have a real good answer for you. Are you looking to get some of this, or just curious? If you just want a good oil, I might be able to help.

If you look at the pics, you can see 'SJ' in the bottom line, which indicates that this oil is a couple years old. A new oil would have 'SL' listed. These are certifications of the American Petroleum Institue, that indicate an oil meets certain specs. These specs change from time to time, and the letters change with them. Notice the weights, too: 15w-40 and 10w-30. A little thicker than Honda has been recommending lately, at least in North America. Anybody know if they're sticking with the 0w-20 recommendation for the '04 Si?

On a sort of related note, I do know that the Honda oil the US is getting now is repackaged Mobil Drive Clean. Not really a stellar oil, IMO. My Honda dealer doesn't think so either - they use Castrol GTX and Faketec (Syntec).
