Moly is by no means ashless. Quote: By “ashless” in respect of the friction modifier is meant a non-metallic organic material that forms substantially no ash on combustion. It is to be contrasted with metal-containing, and hence ash-forming, materials. Ashless would be those not easily...

I've bee looking at how to do struts on a car, and ran across some of the "procedures". One or more in particular is downright dangerous and several of them do not even list a spring compressor in the tools list even when the steps say "remove springs". It is like someone who has never done it...
