The Torco SEP SR-1 additive looks VERY good 'on paper'.
Supposedly LOTS of the good soluble moly (like Red Line and others add to their oils) that does not drop out of suspension, nor turn chlorinated, or acidic (so that the MOS2 bashers/haters cannot put this stuff down in the same way they all do the LM product
).
It also has MUCH less (I've heard SM/SN level) ZDDP than their "racing only" MPZ additive so it IS safe for street cars/catcons/non-solid lifter cars (this was the whole point of offering it).
IF I could trust ANY labs/analyzers to give me a TOTALLY accurate ppm breakdown of this stuff (and NOT be ALL over the place with it, as most are), I would send in a sample for a VOA.

Lubro Moly [Liqui Moly in Europe]
Fairly cheap and very good.
On line, or some NAPA stores have it.
it is a different type than factory oil moly - it is a suspension. But the particles are so fine, it works very well.

The lubro moly does it change the color of the oil at all?

Depending on the concentration (ounces of MOS2 to crankcase capacity in quarts), it can turn the oil a dark greenish/gray color.

Just a caution to anyone thinking of dumping in a bunch of moly to an oil... or engine. I have seen what can happen on a dry surface when moly builds up heat baked, and cracked layers that are almost like steel when trying to remove this stuff.. I have seen to much of a good thing using moly this was in a dry high heat environment nothing like the inside of your engine... I just still wanted to throw my humble words of caution out.
Lubro Moly I love it!!
Lubro Moly MoS2 impresses me every time I use it.
I'm now using Lubro moly in two vehicles a mower and snow blower, and I'm happy with the results.
Whats a cheap place to order online ? I think ill try the Lubro moly ?
Would it be worth pouring a cleaner in the oil first then change the oil and add the lubro ? or add the moly and run it and a few miles before a oil change do a oiler cleaner ? and then readd the moly ?

Not sure where to get LM online, NAPA had about the best price on it. If you are looking to clean up the engine do it before adding LM, that's just my opinion.
I read in another thread you were concerned with varnish, here is what I'd do. Use a pint of MMO for the last 1000 miles of your OCI. For the winter time run 20% MMO not to exceed a qt for a full OCI. Then add the LM after that.
I'm currently using it in two cars and I'm quite pleased.

why would I want a Moly additive? I see a lot of posts on Moly additives. I just do not understand the benefits?

Do you understand molybdenum's role as an oil additive? Many folks, myself included, see the value in keeping an appropriate level of this additive in our engine's oil.

Read through the oil additive section, and make that decision for yourself. Also have a look at the UOA section for oils that have been tweaked with Lubro Moly. The only person who can make that decision about using it is you. I read up on it, and thought it had a benefit. Not everyone agrees, but in the end my opinion is all that matters, to me. 
I just ordered a some online from here worldimpex.com cause ever where i called around here and my home town just got confused when i asked about this stuff even napa places had no idea.
Plan is to run PP 5w-30 oil and half a can of this for 8k miles on next oil change sounds good ?

If you use 1/2 bottle LubroMoly MOS2 in your next oil change, the cost is about $2-3, you will experience yourself the effectiveness of Moly for very little cost.
I tend to read/research before I use any oil additives, if the cost is low I would try it if it has good rating. If the cost is too high then I will try to weight the cost-benefit ratio.

Moly reduces friction and wear.

Bought some Lubro Moly M0s2 Anti-friction engine treatment today. i plan to use it in my BMW. I have about 2,000 miles on my current fill of 20w50 Maxlife blend. Plan to drain a bit and add the M0S2 and drain and fill about 3,000 miles later.
