Who would've imagined back in 2002, that in 2004 my oil shrine would be fully stocked with an oil that has zero moly in it?quote:

huh? this is the first i heard that moly is what makes break-in oil a break-in oil.... Moly reduces friction, from what i understood you want some friction in your break-in oil. Btw, RL is super high in moly, but RL themselves do not recommend you use it to break-in your engine.... If you insist on having moly in your break-in oil, i would use castrol gtx, its relatively clean and has some small amount of moly in it....quote:

What are the oils that are known to have this higher % of moly?
The oil Honda puts in the car at the factory is high in moly and they suggest keeping it in the crankcase until the first scheduled oil change.quote:

A high moly oil you can use in your Honda is as close as your Honda dealer. Search the "Virgin Oil Analysis" forum and I think you'll find at least one Honda factory fill VOA.quote:
