And boron too.
MoS2 and Ceratec have different application. First is a simple additive. Second *should* produce a thin film on the top of a metal surface. May be I am explaining this on not too plain English, so I am not sure in the terminology. But metal protection should be provided even without oil. This is very useful in cold climate when oil could not reach bearings and other places after engine is started.
Ctratec *should* work after oil is drained for up to 30k miles. At least that what is advertised.
BTW, no offence anybody, but many US customers have no idea about really advanced engine oils. I mean Xenum, Bardahl, etc. Even Liqui Moly is in a shade.

I know what they are. Prior to using either I read every thread,post,article and word that could be found online,then I exchanged roughly 50 or so emails with liqui-moly themselves to learn what I could.
If an engine is allowing oil to be burned in the combustion chamber I would use neither additive due to deposit issues being very possible on ring langs however in an engine that are in good shape I've had nothing but positive experiences using both products
I love cera-tec though some are skeptical or have seen issues with using it. I personally haven't therefore it's in the oil of everything I own.
