Molybdenum is already added to some oils. Here is an analysis I just did on Valvoline High Mileage 10w30. As you can see it has it added. You can buy this off the shelf for relatively little $$ in comparison to full synthetic oils.

Yep your right, many oils do contain a small amount of molybdenum; not sure if any have MOS2 in them though. In any case The amount that was in my escort was much higher than the amount in your analysis. 1000+ PPM is what I intend on installing once it arrives.
IVIUSTANG:By the way where did you live in the Arctic Circle?
bright:OK, we'll both put our weenies back in our pants. We would get frostbite wherever we lived.
As for bright, what am I supposed to get from this? Did you lie and get caught to try and prove a point?

Dude, you sooo need to relax. I had to look it up, and indeed I lied. Or it was a mistake, but it's up to you interpret. At this point your pride seems a bit too wounded to relax, so I'll give it to you. Sub Arctic lattitudes, lacked permafrost and too much precipitation.

You are a bit too technical, perhaps like the Mooninites. So you can have the Arctic claim. Personally, I think Carl says what I feel best.

Try laughing a bit. And this conversation has gotten way too tiresome.
Many Thanks,
