When I first joined this site, when it was on the old message board, you may remember I was using Mobil 1, and heard you guys talking about Maxlife and it's good dose of moly, which is why I made the switch. I started out using the SJ formula, which must've been one of the last batches of it, because it had no moly. Then I tried an interval with the SL formula, and found out not only did it not have moly either, but the rest of their additive package was even weaker too, they reduced zinc, phosphorus and calcium by quite a lot, despite them claiming otherwise.
The originals on this board will recall my shock and dismay when I got my very first UOA back and found almost no moly in it whatsoever! I was ready to strangle someone at Valvoline!

It's funny how things have changed, because here I am now using an oil with no moly in it, and seeing my best wear numbers to date.
