Please forgive the stupidity of a newbie. I have searched the forums, and I read a lot about how good Moly is and that Havoline/Chevron have the highest concentration in the Dino arena. What about Synthetic? Which Synthetic has the highest concentration of Moly?
Moly and Synthetic

Have a look and Red Line Oils, certainly one of the most popular [on BITOG] moly loaded synthetic oils.
Synthetic oil is the wave of the future, Mobile one is what I use and no problems yet at 200k on a 318 dodge engine, courier van, one ton. My boss ran Mobile one in his last 2 vans, chevys v8 gas engines,, one at a million miles and the other 750k, both are still running and the engines have not been rebuilt yet, go figure,,sky
If one picks an oil based on moly highest content, you may very well not be picking the best oil for your engine.

Exactly. All this extra moly does what?

The highest level of Moly I have seen is the 0w-20's from Idemitsu, branded Honda and available at their dealerships.
But, I don't buy it. There are more important factors than that.

Be careful about saying anything good about M1 here. You might be accused of trying to destroy BITOG or at the least be pounced on by the M1 bashers.

Mobil 1 is an excellant oil and easy to find. OK, I said it. LOL. Most of us here like to try different oils to try find find what is best. LOL. Oh well.
Lets say you throw in 1L out of a possible 4L of a moly rich oil during an oil change. How long does the moly stay in the system, or will it be depleted by the end of the intervalor will it be washed away so to speak if you went back to normal oil for the next interval? I am a moly dummy so I thought I'd ask.
Nevermind, I found a days worth of reading on Moly...the search function actually worked in my favor this time....
Mobile may be the wave of the future, but watch out for Mobil oil high wear figures in UOA. Good luck with Mobile.
