Liqui Moly Mos2 additive.

Great feedback NoTempoLimit thanks! Any chance you'd be able to post those in the UOA section?

If not I'd be interested in the aluminum with/without MoS2 numbers if you don't mind.

Thanks KCJeep! Aluminum was unchanged at 4 ppm in both samples. BMW engines made for sale in the U.S. have iron cylinder sleeves. In the E.U. they use AluSil bores. For bore wear look a the iron.

At one time they used NikaSil which did not hold up against high sulfur U.S. gasoline and caused a lot of problems for them. So now they play it safe with iron bore liners.

How do you know the MoS2 reduced wear? You changed to a different, heavier oil. How do you know the heavier oil wasn't responsible for the reduced wear? Your data does not tell you anything as to the effectiveness of a MoS2 additive.

Even the biggest skeptic would have to admit it clearly didn't hurt anything.

Also remember the high boron in Lubro Moly.
Another benefit.

I'll be dosing my E-150 in December when I change the oil. Good stuff.
