I had a conversation yesterday with a tech person at Rosmill Industries who sells Moly about tumbling bullets and we chatted about adding Moly to engine oil. He said different companies use varying amounts, and mentioned Redline as being one that uses a lot more compared to other companies. This guy seemed to know cars, engines, and oils. We had a nice chat. He adds 1 tablespoon to a 7 qt sump in his car.
Anyway here is what he had to say on this topic: According to Rosemill it would work if added to engine oil. A small amount can be blended into the oil with a high speed mixer, the suggested amount is about 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon depending on sump size and how much you want to add.
I also asked about Tungsten Disulfide, he said it was better for high heat applications than Moly, but Moly is lighter in weight and stays in suspension better, and is also cheaper, and more widely used. But both products would work.
The trick to adding it is use of a high speed mixer/blender. Pour off a small amount of oil and blend it so it forms a vortex, and add the Moly, blending it into the oil.
He said their super fine Moly would not get trapped in the filter if properly blended into the oil. Just thought I'd toss that out there for anyone who is interested.
