I was doing some running around with and my friend commented on how smooth and quiet the engine ran and sounded. I was surprised on the coment so moS2 must make a difference.

That was the part number I had to give them for them to find it. I also told them the line number as well (its posted in this thread a couple pages back) to make sure they entered it properly. I was (pleasantly) surprised to find it in stock here, as its a little on the exotic side in this part of the world. Once I decide on my next LM product to try, I plan to pick up a couple extra bottles of mos2 to keep on hand and to encourage them to continue stocking it.
We have 3 Napa stores nearby, but only 1 that I consider any good (the store I bought LM mos2 from and also the only Napa here that carried POR-15 back when I was looking for it).

Go to www.napaonline.com
Type in LM2009 in the search box, and press search.
It will ask if it is for a specific vehicle. click "no"
It will ask you for your zipcode. Enter it and press enter.
a map pops up. Click on "start shopping" for your local Napa.
the page with the LM MOS2 will pop up.
Enter the quantity you want.
When the next page pops up, Click on "pick up at local store" or something like that.
Wait 1 day and pick up your stuff.
Print a copy of the order because they will have no idea what you are talking about when you come to pick it up.

That technique just loops me with zip codes and store locaters.
No hard info about where the product is.

I punched Napa and my city into Google, and used street maps to pull up the phone numbers of the ones closest to me. Then I called them with the part and line number. If you give them only the part number, they'll enter 2009 as the part, and LM as the line number, then tell you they don't carry it.
Some don't, but any of them can order it for you. It cost a little more here (like many other things), but I consider it a very inexpensive additive for the quality put into the product.

My NAPA guy looked at me like I had two heads and didn't even want to be bothered. I went to another NAPA guy he pulled out a catalogue, and let me look through it. I found all the LM products and was able to get MoS2 for just under $4/bottle. I'll be dealing with him for now on since AAP wanted $6.99/bottle. I'd imagine there is a nice mark up on this stuff, or AAP works on a tremendous profit margin.
I have a question about adding MoS2 to my car (or any car that is stored for the winter).
I have a car that is going to get its final oil change soon before it is stored for the winter. It has never had MoS2 or any oil additive added to it before but I want to add MoS2 after reading up on it.
My question is should I add MoS2 to the oil before the car is stored or in the spring when the car is going to start running again?
I look at it as both have there ups and downs. If I add it in the fall it will be able to plate the car while it sits for the winter, but the downside I worry about is the MoS2 could come out of suspension. (Should I or should I not worry about this?) Where if I add it in the spring I don't need to worry about it falling out of suspension but it will not plate for as long on clean oil and a cleaner engine.

Good question, some of the MoS2 will fall out of suspension, but as soon as you fire it up it will mix through.
I use it in my snowblower and here is what I do. I fog my blower and the end of the season and change the oil. At the start of the winter season I pump out some oil, mix the MoS2 in with it, and pour in into the engine. You could do something along those lines if you are concerned with the MoS2 falling out of suspesnion. If you had a Fumoto valve you could drain some oil, mix in the MoS2 and pour it in, then fire it up.

You'll be fine either way; personally I would lean toward putting it in a few hundred miles before storing the car (the plating effect may take a few hundred miles to achieve). I would not be concerned with any mos2 coming out of suspension.

J-Sap -
I would add the Moly afterwards. Being in suspension, you have nothing to gain by letting it sit for long periods. Of course it can settle. [Moly that is chemically stuck to parts won't leave, however]
It may work just fine, but why take a change for absolutely no reason?
[I say this even though I am a fan of Lubro Moly.]

I agree, which is why I add it to my snowblower at the start of the season vs the end when I change the oil.

Thanks for the quick replies. I am going to wait until the fall to add the MoS2 to my oil. Spyder; I would add it now but I do not know how long or how many miles will be put on the car until I store it for the winter. I fell it would be a waste if I put it in now to just drain it out after a few short miles. I would rather run it a full oil change and get maximum protection from it. My winter car (Subaru Legacy) will be getting a dose of MoS2 as soon as I can stop by a NAPA.
Just out of curiosity what would happen to my engine if the MoS2 came out of suspension?

There is not a large anount.

Nothing negative. Remember that this is exactly how its added to the oil in the beginning - by pouring it into the crankcase separately. The moly particles are tiny, and easily suspended in oil (while passing right through the most efficient filters), and its only when they are subjected to enough heat (through the car being driven long enough at operating temps) that they begin to plate.
The plating effect, whether you store it or not, isn't maintained indefinitely - which is why to maintain the effect maintenance dosing needs to be done during subsequent doses - though not as much as the initial dose, and you can effectively opt to add it every other OC rather than every OC and still retain the benefits.

figured id post this here. I got a tube of molyslip (canadian version) gear/manual transmission additive. I added it to my VW gear box, and i still have half the tube left. It IS a gear additive, meaning its suspended in a gear oil of "unknown" weight. would it be safe to add the rest of this to my engine oil? there's not much left in terms of volume, but i figured it may benefit my engine.
I'd contact the company directly and ask. They do reply to questions answered on their site. I'd add it to a beater, but for something I really care about I'd use the product intended to be added to oil.

It would depend on the particle size of the moly. If it is too large the filter will stop it from circulating in your engine.
