Mugen MT105 additive ...

[Bror Jace]

Has anyone seen this stuff? With a price of $48 per bottle I can't imagine there are hundreds of thousands of regular users out there.

Mugen and King Motorsports are not fly-by-night snakeoil hucksters, but rather companies involved with serious performance machinery. So, I'm sure the stuff works close to, if not exactly as advertised. Still, I'd rather just buy a high quality oil with a stout additive package already blended in.

At least they are telling people to use it sparingly ... be only 3-5% of a typical sump. One bottle must be good for several oil changes.

Also...sounds VERY similar to a certain Schaeffer product...could be #132?

And I am sure that does not sell for $48

Someone please confirm,

Are there Japaneese or Chineese symbols on those MT charts?

i believe the writing is japanese cuz mugen is in japan.

Ok, clears that up

, I thought it was an American Company selling a foreign product.

'Kule, yep, Mugen (Pronounced: Mew + hard "G" + en) is a high-tech, high-performance engine company which has worked with Honda over the past few decades like the way Cosworth works with Ford and Ilmore works with Chevy/GM.

So yes, it's a Japanese company.

I would never buy this stuff ... but I'd like to see the ppm level of moly. From all the cautions and the recommended application/treat rate, I'd guess it is well over 1,000 ... maybe even 2,000 or more.

also, mugen built the honda engines for the jordan formula one team before the honda factory re-enterd F1.
