Hi

After reading Moly Basics I come across have Molybond Formula 2.5 moly additive, it comes it a tube you can add it straight to the engine. It contains molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) which aid in the reduction of friction and wear in automotive.

Requires 2 tubes of 40g each for 5 litre crankcase.

Are the Tech Guru's able to provide an intrepretation on the product sheets below. My evaluation is it is very similiar to Liqui-Moly, it appears to be pure MoS2 inert.

As it is cheaper than the Liqui-Moly (formerly known as the Lubro-Moly) I intend to:
1. use one tube with 4 litre of oil during run in OCI of 10000km
2. then use a 1/3 of the tube as a maintenance dose future OCi's

The propduct data sheet is below

The MSDS data sheet is below
http://www.rocol.com.au/pdf/safety/Formula%202.5%20Filled%20Tubes%20MSDS.PDF

Your help is appreciated.

Assuming it stays in suspension and not at the bottom of the oil pan.

According to the MSDS, it is mostly Grp I oil + Naphthenic oil + the MOS2 and some detergent/dispersant.

Doesn't look impressive anyway.
 
Get a good OTC oil with moly dithicarbamate in it, like Mobil 1 or Schaeffers or Redline or ... if you want moly.

Because Moly is a lubricant, it is possible for two Moly plated parts such as a bearing and a shaft to run for an indefinite period of time without a fluid oil.

Based on their marketing, I'd say not. And no reason for moly in the fuel as Johnny stated.
 
They've banned molybdenum disulfide at work (a steam turbine plant) due to reactions between the sulfur and steel, causing stress corrosion cracking, greatly aggravated by the presence of moisture.
 
Where was the moly being used in the steam turbines ?

We use a high MOS2 lube on the valve linkages and sole plates.
