It's not high-moly, which means more than 600 ppm or so. I would call it mid-moly, as it's around 300 ppm according to PQIA. It's probably not trinuclear, as trinuclear moly is used in low-moly formulations (less than 100 ppm or so).

Moly is good stuff!
This is one of very few oils that actually lists the results of engine tests:

It's actually a very clean-running oil.
MHT-4 TEOST (ASTM 6335)
Deposit Weight, 10 mg (max 35 mg)
TEOST 33C ASTM D-6335)
Deposit Weight, 12.4 mg (max 30 mg)
Engine Rusting Ball and Rust Test (ASTM D-6557)
Average Gray Value 133 (min 100)
Sequence IIIG
130% Viscosity increase @ 40 °C (max 150%)
Average Cam & Lifter Wear, 9.8 μm (max 60 μm)
If there is indeed a pattern of high lead, it's not good though. TiredTrucker had really bad experience with high iron and high lead with the 5W-40 version of this oil.
