Hello, I have tried mixing raw Mos2 powder in oil and get the same results as you: settling. Even with Rose Mill 1,5um powder, I have get settling. To keep it in suspension, you need colloidal powder, i.e. a powder so fine that the brownian motion of particles keeps them in suspension. This...

Hello everybody, If your afraid of the MOS2 settling out of the oil, why don't you test it like I did: *Buy a quart of your oil and put it in a clear closable glass container. *Add the right proportion of MOS2 additive and shake well ( make sure the container is fully closed.....) *Let settle...

I've been running MOS2 along with some graphite in my auto-tranny without any problems, quite the opposite in fact. ATF are friction modified to have a low coefficient of friction at low contact speed. This way, the shifts are smooth. However, these friction modifiers "wear out" quite quickly...

I don't want to offend anyone here, but this so-called "oil bible" isn't for me a bible at all. It's just 372 pages of personal opinions by an individual who, I must admit, seems to have read a some pages on the subject. But, the main problem I see is that there isn't any references at all in...

I use it to clean dirts and old grease before re-greasing, general car and tools cleaning, but mostly for it's rust protection. Although it may not be the best out here, it's very cheap by the gallon. In the winter, every week or two, I completely spray the under side of my cars with hot water...

Hello everybody, I'm a real solid lubricant nerd. I'm using graphite and MoS2 in various proportions in the engine oil ( 0,67 % solid ) , in the automatic tranny ( 1 % solid ), in the manual tranny ( 2 % solid ), in the fuel ( graphite only ) and in the cooling system ( graphite only ) ...

Hello everybody, I personally didn't experienced any problems with MOS2 additives in a manual tranny. I am currently running one with a 2 % solid content for more than a year and all I can say is that it engage much smoother ( it was rather harsh before ). Soluble moly, I don't know .....

Hello everybody, I have read ( and puchased ) many SAE papers on graphite and MOS2 additives. From these it emerge that the MINIMUM treat level for these additive to be effective is 0,1% solid content. Since Lubro-Moly contains 3% solid, a 5% treat level will give you 0,15% solid. That's about...
