I looked up molyB and it came up with MOS2. Is molyB a brand of aftermarket moly additive?
I had this in mind that I saw it from a PCMO company. Cannot remember exactly where. Now think it a market gimmick.

But, most isn't all
One day at work in 1982 I was called over to look at some 6" dia white metal journal bearings that had just been removed from a fairly large hydraulic dynamometer that was undergoing a QA test. They spin-test the dyno in reverse because the drag due to the air inside would require more horsepower than the 300 they had available. The bearings are directional and have to be turned around to suit the direction of rotation. When they were returning them to the normal direction after the 30 min test they noticed some damage.
The shells looked like someone had sand-blasted them in the loaded areas. After a short investigation the bearing manufacturers (Glacier Bearings, London) told us it was due to the moly particles in the assembly spray the fitters used. The particles running through the high pressure region of the hydrodynamic oil film cause cavitation erosion.
