If it is anything like the rest of Mugen's products, you will pay 5x the price for it and it will maybe be slightly better the competitors offering, but with oil, I doubt their blend is worth the price they put on it, ill take RP/RL before that oil for a track day.

I wont hold my breath until I see a UOA, there are plenty of great oils out there already that are plenty for any Honda vtec motor..

If I were a rich man I would only try the Mugen oil only if it is intended to be used with a catalyst. The shot of moly would be great but is this oil intended for a long drain application? Your RL oil does not fair well for long drain use.

Are you kidding me? Redline and Royal Purple have performed flawlessly time and time again on extended intervals. Amsoil's focus is on even longer intervals so their success is respective of their formulation.

I might let you put down an OTC dino, but a high quality oil like Redline or Royal Purple? Pass me a hit of whatever you're taking (Kool Aid)?

I seem to recall that Mugen motor oils were made by Motul at one point.

I just ran 20k on Red Line 5W20 (not recommended by the factory) in my VW diesel and it is fine with 3.3 TBN left. Check the UOA section.
