You want moly?

^^You pretty much nailed it Dave!^^ In some cases going to a thinner oil can reduce consumption depending on what is wrong with the engine. When you have a problem and don't want to rip into the engine a person can experiment until they find something that works, bite the bullet, live with it, or repair the engine. Did I miss anything? Oh yea selling or disposing of the vehicle is an option too.

I'm using words like THINK and SOME for a reason, since the product won't work reducing consumption in all instances for everyone. Some engines are beyond help.


Notice the use of the word "seems".

LOL He had to cover his arse from the anecdotal evidence team. They're out in great numbers lately.

It "seemed" to me that he was taking you to task for using "think" and "some", so I "reckoned" I'd step in.

Just here for the lolzs

Well thanks for taking my back. I just thought he was breaking ballz, and an explaintaion for my word choices was needed. LOL

It was less the "parts", and more so the frame tubesets (like my bike's hand built frame) which were made from (mostly) Sandvik sourced tubing.
What made it so prohibitively priced, and inspired the 'unobtanium' moniker was the fact that it HAD TO BE carefully welded in an argon gas atmosphere in order to avoid contamination, and insure a strong bond, NOT necessarily the cost of the titanium ALLOY tube material itself.

It was also pedals and cranks and stems and seatposts - hard parts. Look, they shaved off 3 whole ounces! Custom hand work that went into Ti frames made the frames costly as well. The bicycle industry is prone to fads of this sort.

Using a particular element as a lubricant is just not as sexy. Effective, maybe, but not as good for the marketing department.
