I wasn't sure exactly where to ask this question so I guess this will do! I was wondering if anyone on the Board has any experience using this stuff, good or bad. Seems like it could be a good product and was just wondering if anyone else has heard of it or used it. It has to be cheaper than wiping a cam lobe! Thanks, Doug
<HR style="COLOR: #9fb2b8" SIZE=1> <!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --> Z-ALT = zinc alternative. And by looking at their own advertising, that translates into what they call infuzed moly. So here is some of what I found on Moly. CMW Oil is one of the most vocal proponents of the elimination of moly all together from motor oils and does not use any moly friction modifiers in its street, race, or fleet lubricants. CMW is not alone in their recommendation against the use of moly in oils, with Cummins Engine Oil Recommendations, Bulletin No. 3810340-02, stating that "there is firm evidence that certain friction modifiers, molybdenum dithiophosphate for example, can in certain formulations result in cam follower pin failure at relatively low mileage." Also, molybdenum compounds in motor oils can degrade and cause bearing corrosion and is particularly aggressive towards copper. In almost all cases, any engine oil formula having "moly" will also contain a copper deactivator which will protect bearings from the moly compounds. The only problem, the copper deactivator decomposes at relatively low temperatures and looses it's potency after a few thousand miles, which can be seen in used oil analyses of moly rich oils having higher than normal copper levels
Well if that don't beat all, I guess I was hoping for a miracle! Thanks for the input, guess I'll keep looking!! Thanks, Doug
