Don't use it... A quality oil should be more than enough for your engine and if it isn't then a repair is needed. These "Miracle" additives do nothing more than separate you from your hard earned money with no real benefit to you. Save your money and sanity of whether is "may" be corrosive in contact with moisture and don't use additives.
No oil additives other than Auto-Rx. Spend money on better (synthetic oil). Forget about the snake oils.
Good choice!
I added LM MoS2 on a couple occasions to Mobil 1 5w40, 1/2 of a 300ml container each time, mixed with about 4.5 quarts of oil. The used-oil results showed reduced wear metals, not only during the initial OCI but in the follow-on interval.
Mobil 1 0w40 contains moly, 5w40 does not -- presumably because it's already a top-quality oil which may not need the moly or because it would increase the cost of manufacture. But based on my limited experience with MoS2, I would consider it a useful additive -- in small quantities -- when used with an oil which does not come from the manufacturer with a moly additive.
I would not describe LM MoS2 as snake oil -- it is molybdenum mixed with a harmless base. I do not know of any harm that can come from using it.

to BITOG, regardless. But you've now used one of your free passes... 
I searched MoS2 on google and the link to this page was in the search results... so i came here. Im guessing many others searching "mos2" will end up here aswell... looking for answers.
One guy on this thread made a comment that was even dumber than the others when he automatically jumped to the conclusion that this additive is to be used as an engine REPAIR!
I used this stuff as a kid some 50 years ago. I remember it as a colloidal suspension that will plate out on parts. The military were big users of it in the 50s? A good product to use when oil was not as robust as todays oil. I see no reason to use it today unless you have some very special requirements. JMO. Ed

.. what diid you want to know? i had in there before.
However, im tempted to just let the Oil clean up, and the Moly "plate." Im not ODing on additives, and i caved.. for 1/2 can of the one thing.
Good point, though. 
I like and use Lubro Moly.
Sure, there are umpteeen jillion additives that are questionable.
This one is good and proven.
If you don't like additives, simply buy an oil without any!
[you can't!]

And how long do you feel it took to "plate?"
And does it mess with "Sludge" ?
