The type moly used in Mobil 1 R

[Motorbike]

I was looking at a Australian website for viscosity recommended for the Honda S2000 " 10w-30 btw - 10w-30 for some newer Toyotas as well "
and found the 1R uses Molybdenum Polysulfide Alkyl Dithiocarbamate in the formulation .

This a a different moly than I've seen or is the name just in a full listing here ? Could this be the same moly used in the Supersyn ?

Pennzoil does not use MoDTC I'm led to believe so.... how many moly's are out there in use ?

I'm thinking now the newer and reportedly darker Havoline uses the same moly as Pennzoil .

Can someone set all this straight ?

Nope, same thing as MoDTC. Some MoDTC's use different sarting materials.

All they're saying is that this MoDTC starts with a MoS5, a moly penta sulfide most likely.

Where did you hear this?

It would make sense that Havline and Pennzoil use the same additives. I believe Johnny (Pennzoil guy) told use that pennz uses an Oronite (sp?) additive package.
