Are all Honda Oil and Rad caps the same?
I check my oil and water every time before i take my car out, I also get the oil changed on a regular basis perhaps 2-4 times a year.
My car is pretty good, i hardly ever need to top anything up but i check just to make sure, but when i do have to check the plastic oil cap is a bum to remove! i don't over tighten it either.
So i was looking at alternative oil caps which may make life a little easier. and because i was doing oil cap might as well get a matching rad cap. (expansion bottle cap)
Do all Honda Rad and Oil caps fit the Nsx?
I have been looking at the Mugen ones. Maybe Spoon, Mugen is more JDM surely?! haha.
Another Question...
While i was looking at oil caps i found something called Mugen Engine Treatment Oil MT105.
What is all that about? never thought there was such a thing, additive to the oil. More curious than anything, no intentions in running it.
Description
"Mugen MT105 engine treatment is one of the most advanced additives that actually work! Used exclusively by Mugen for years, it is now available to you. Mugen MT105 prevents mechanical loss of engine power and reduces mechanical noise, improves fuel economy, and protects your engine of wear as well as improvement of its durability.
Even with racing engines built with highly precise components, moving parts such as valves and pistons cannot escape from friction loss. Molybdenum, which is a major ingredient of MT105, quickly penetrates into the metal friction surface. This makes a smooth metal surface by forming a strong lubricating layer, which in turn reduces friction resistance and minimizes loss of engine power. By holding the increase of metal surface friction temperature it stabilizes oil temperature, reduces metal friction noise, and improves engine durability.
The recommended quantity of MT105 to be added is 3% to 5% (or 30ml to 50ml per litre) of the engine oil capacity. Please add MT105 by using the attached measurement cup. Since this product is composed of high density organic molybdenum, too much quantity may have adverse affect on such materials as engine sealers."
