Isn't molybdenum the stuff that is used in break-in oils? I've heard of it before, what exactly does it do?
If "increasing the engine's durability and lifespan" is one of the answers... Hell yes I would want that. I think we are all trying to find the right oil to do that.
Here is a review of Moly basics...
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/index.php ... &Itemid=62 The problem with Moly is the same as with Zink and other metals used for lubrication. They all cause damage to catalytic converters. Not a problem for us, but the EPA does not like what it can possibly do to the millions of cats on the road.
Ooh, me likey. Ok, so since I'm already a big fan of Mobil 1 Delvac synth (which that chart shows has a fair amount of ZDDP etc, b/c it is also sold as M1 Truck & SUV) can we get the moly as an additive that will stay in suspension that we can add to our favorite oils ourselves?
I'll have to check the next time I am through a Flying J, but I thought they sold the Schaffer's oil. There is a Pilot truck stop a lot closer to me, I'll check there too for it. I'd say Moly > Zddp / Zinc, is that a fair assessment?
