I believe Dino (short for dinosaur) because it is processed from "fossil Fuels"----Fossil=Dinosaur.
Synthetics arent made from traditional fossil fuels.
But I could be wrong

Should you?I can't help you there bud.

I have a feeling that for oils with moly in them, moly is a good thing, and if it's not in an oil, it's not there for a reason. Said another way, if the engineers put it in there, they've tailored the overall additive package to take advantage of it being there, so adding it to an oil that doesn't have it may not be as good as if the package was tailored for it.quote:

As MK has pointed out, there are certain formulations which would make the use of moly unnecessary. For example, if my theory about the German Syntec is correct and its base oil blend is mostly some of the more "exotic" esters, then it's not going to have moly in it. The VOA I'm planning to do on it will tell the tale.
It seems Mobil uses some moly ,but decidedly leaves it out of the more expensive and long lasting Delvac-1.They are not just being cheap about it, are they?Is moly not good for the long haul?

Can't say why Mobil leaves moly out of Delvac 1. Schaeffer puts moly into just about everything except their ATF, and their #700 15W-40 diesel engine oil with moly has very good results...60,000+ miles per oil change in some trucks running under the best circumstances, and 1,200,000 miles between overhauls on some trucks.
