Badnews, where have you been?
I can't speak for the others, but I've missed you.
Have you come to stir the pot a little?
What ever you are going to post I know its going to be good and controversial.
Moly is a milkmaid right?

Well Mobil 1 already has Moly. And adding an EP when a AW willdo isn't really good for the oil or the equipment. Also the Type of moly is important. Besides Mobil 1 already has moly and when you look at the UOA's the Moly is about the same as the Virgin analysis which shows it generally is not used.
I'm sure Mobil 1 (and I'm not a flag waiving user) probably added an optimal amount. Just an opinion though. ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif)

Schaeffer's #132 works good, but use less than Schaeffer recommends. Search for Molakule's 132/LC mix.

No, it's in solution.
Only if you use powdered MoS2, which isn't recommended anyway.

Like Al said, there's more to an oil than the sum of its parts which show up in a typical UOA/VOA. That's why some additives backfire. I'm thinking of one guy who showed up here after adding "Tufoil" to his oil. His analysis didn't look so hot. ![[Thumbs Down!]](/forums/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif)
Depending on the other additives, there's an optimal amount of moly/boron/zinc/phosphorous/calcium, etc ... and the type/fprm of each is critical.
Yes, at least some molydisulphide would end up getting filtered out.
