Valvoline Restore and Protect + MOS2

[snail415]

All,

First, I'm not advocating the combination...but I happen to have a bottle of MOS2 and a few jugs of Valvoline Restore and Protect.
Is there anyone knowledgeable on the Valvoline Restore and Protect formulation properties that could support/defend upping the moly (in an oil that concurrently breaks-down varnish)?

I'm not sure I understand the connection between that additive and varnish.

What I mean is, would upping that additive work-against the properties that Valvoline Restore and Protect is famous-for? Or, is more moly simply more moly?
I'm not bent out-of-shape about it. I just figured it might give a rocket-surgeon in the forum an opportunity to educate us on how these may interact.

I would not mix the two. Valvoline Restore and Protect is well formulated and needs nothing.

Use the Valvoline Restore and Protect by itself, it doesn't need any tweaking.

There is a specific reason why Valvoline is using approx 150ppm or so of moly and not another amount. Adding to that can change something.

Valvoline Restore and Protect is a "miracle" oil. Don't mess it up!

Acknowledge all. I suppose I just wanted to learn why. It’s beginning to feel like the Valvoline Restore and Protect Forum…

We would give you the same advice if you wanted to add something to any other oil. Additives are a waste of money and ruin the balance of an oil. Don’t try to be a backyard chemist.

R & P already has a lot of moly. No need to add more. You can add too much.

Adding MOS2 is fixing a problem that doesn't exist except in the minds of too many Beemer owners.

You can add in Porsche owners to that club too, the PCA guys near me all have a near-religious attachment to LiquiMoly oils and their Ceratec additive and for the life of me I can't figure out why other than the "made in Germany" label

Liqui Moly is holly water for German car guys. Their FE series is water oil anyway.

I’m not familiar with holly water. What is it? Some kind of plant extract?
