Reading this article, I found that Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) additives submitted to heat in excess of 343°C form Molybdenum trioxide which is abrasive!!!!!! Is this true?
Moreover, it is sais that MoS2 cannot handle acids so it means that it is definitely not good as a oil additive?
I'm looking for a gearoil additive to help with cold ****ing. As some of you yet know, I cannot change for a better oil since my gearbox calls for a very specific formulation that is not common: 75W80 GL5 with a viscosity at 40°C lower or equal to 47cSt (my actual oil): this is almost impossible to find (the 47cSt is not a requirment but higher viscosities at 40°C make the gearbox much more hard to shift when cold). I'd like to know if using MoS2 gearoil additive may help but reading this article, I'm a bit skeptical. Would a ceramic based gearoil additive (TecFlow etc) be better than MoS2 for this application?
