I'm using Amsoil 5W-20 and it contains virtually no Moly:

Should I add some?

I never really thought Amsoil had bad wear numbers. In fact, I think they are generally a bit better then M1. My biggest complaint with there oil is the TBN depletion and out of grade viscosity. Moly wouldn't help this, as far as I know. It seems Boron and Moly though are the way to go these days. [ May 21, 2003, 08:19 PM: Message edited by: buster ]
