He wants to know...
Some posters claim Lubeguard Bio-Tech is, I cant verify the claim the best thing to do call them and ask.

'Tri-nuclear', because trimer doesn't sound radioactively superpowered. Never had a problem with the di-nuclear stuff tbh

Not in the quantities that you would gain anything using it as an additive, like some people use Redline.
Schaaeffers, I believe has an additive with MoDTC...not necesarily tri.
As to part 2, when these additives get into the contact areas, they break down and form MoS2, which gets embedded in the phosphate glass left (primarily) by the ZDDP.

I think he wants to know what happens when you have a MoS2 additive and a MoDTC additive together.
I believe nothing untowards happens, if there's metal-to-metal contact the MoDTc will just form more MoS2.

Just to answer a few of your questions.
Yes, I understand that a lot of oils now seem to utilize the Tri version.
M1 included, though there are more prevalent ones.
Why am I interested?
1. I am interested in optimizing my oil/minimize wear. Hondas, etc seem to perform [slightly] better with oils that contain higher moly. So rationale that slightly higher moly via additive would further improve. Probably overkill and not necessary, but why not explore the notion?
2. Simple curiosity, and to try to learn more. Seems like this hasn't been discussed on here and might be interesting to others.
Interesting will look into Lubegard and Schaaeffers.

The X-moly's are all MoDTC's. The Tri-Nuclear moly was simply a low-volativity form of MoDTC.
Most modern engine oils have some form MoDTC as a friction reducer.
An OTC version? No.
