MoS2 doesn't need to stay in suspension. It will plate onto the metal in your engine while in use, and most of it will no longer be in the oil. You need to add it to your engine and drive it for a while so it doesn't settle before it has a chance to do its magic.
I added MOS2 powder to a qt of oil.

Most stays in suspension unless the vehicle sits for weeks on end.
The moly attaches/plates where there is metal on metal contact and where high heat is created. It does not attach to all of the metal inside of your engine...

I looked at the LubroMoly PDS and it stated that the particle size is under 0.3um. That is 16 times smaller than what I mixed up.

No additives will do that to that extent. We see a lot of moly in the oil in UOAs for oils that had MOS2 added, which confirms that.

Who knows what type of powder you and the mfrs use?
There IS settling in the bottom of the can of Lubro Moly, but it is in a highly concentrated state.
I see no evidence of settling in the engine.

Even if it settles in the engine, a coating of the product remains on the internals. Just have a look at a dipstick from an engine treated with the product, even after a week or more of no use. What does settle is quickly back into suspension and circulating through the engine within seconds of turning the key. I see no problems at all with the product.

Moly will indeed attach itself to metal parts without friction deposition. That won't do us any good, though.

Even if it plates to the metal in the engine, the oil will show significant amounts of it when analyzed.
