i have used this for a while with good results in oil burning engines. Any uoa on this product? All info is really old, I know it thickens oil somewhat, but was wundering if there is any MAGIC inside that a voa or uoa would show.

I think it has antimony, and antiwear additive. I use it mixed 50/50 with engine oil for cylinder wall lubricant for assembling an engine. I use it on the valvetrain for assembly also. I use moly paste on the cam and lifter faces.
Older thread on it here.

I'd love to see it. I have a few bottles I bought several years ago, which I added from time to time to a beater which leaked and used a bit of oil. I got rid of the beater, and the #132 sits in my basement.

I got 6 pints free so I figured I'd run an oci and pull a used oil analysis to see how well it works I've been doing a decent amount of towing with it so far and we will be hitting winter soon enough so it'll be put to the test I added .75qts to 7.25 qts of 0w20 valvoline synpower it's within their mix ratio

It contains a multi-functional polymer that will not show in a standard oil analysis.

I would say it is a quality product but only for oil burners or engines not properly maintained.

I used it in my unmolested Muscle cars. It seemed to work very well and my engines ran very well for not being restored/rebuilt.
thank you.
I look forward to the uoa,, thanks for your input,,I believe schaeffers oil co. is a quality company, from my oil burners and what i have read on the interwebs.
So the first one is 10w30 Castrol EDGE Extended Performance and the second is 0w20 valvoline synpower with the #132 added to it
Very interesting and thanks for this
i have purchased a bottle of the schaeffer's moly ep for my use in an 89 chevy truck with 350. pretty sure it needs new valve stem seals and before i changed those out i wanted to see the effects of a few additives. i have used the restore engine restorer, lubrimoly MOS and MOS2, over the course of about 2 years and now am ready to try the moly ep. My current oil fill with out any oil additives is Quaker State Defy 10w30.
for my next oil run with the moly ep, i have available on the shelf: a jug of valvoline maxlife high mileage synthetic blend in 5w30 and also a jug of valvoline full synthetic high mileage in 10w30.
I don't have any lc-20 which if i recall from an old thread is mr mola's recommendation to run with the moly ep, so questions:
which oil to use of the two above that will play well with the moly ep? and
how much moly ep only 4oz, 8 oz or the whole pint bottle?
thanks

I'd probably add a half bottle to the Maxlife HM 5W30. It will thicken the oil up a bit. A whole bottle during the winter, I wouldn't be comfortable doing that. OTOH 4 ounces probably won't do anything at all.
