Mola answered it better than I could have. The only thing I'd reinforce is that PYB's moly level is in the friction modification range, perhaps not high enough to be in the AW range.
Mola: Here's a question. Given that race oils have some pretty high ZDDP levels and some rather low TBN, how would they be for break in? Or, do they have issues with friction modifiers? I see so many break in lubes as monogrades, and just wonder if there are better options out there.
I think since they have FMs they would make the break-in period longer.
