LM MoS2. Honest, if not appropriately tested?

I think the video has been posted here before.

I think he does a valid test.

Maybe an engine that works much harder, like a Chevy 366 in a 25,000 lb truck, would be a better test.

Sorry for the repost.

I do belive in MoS2 as "additional" lube...lets say to help if "boundary lubrication regime" happens...

I like that one...

I'm pretty sure LM says you have to run the engine for a while to get the MOS2 deposited on the engine surfaces. His tests were of no value. Member Clevy sung the virtues of this product in small engines enough to convince me I needed it.

And you can also see some MoS2 plating @5:40 (at first video)

Back to the basics. Quality oil is usually all that is needed.

Understood (SHU Diesel)

The bearing testing machine showed it made no difference in film strength.

Where has it been claimed mos2 increases film strength?

we all know everything today is done to a price point!! so costly additives are limited or cheaper ones used in their place. most of us are NOT pro oil blenders so if you want better oils by them!! Redline always comes to mind being one of the very FEW REAL synthetics on the market today. although rarely on the shelf it can be quickly bought on-line as i do. i recently changed out all cheap OE lubes in my 11 nissan frontier to Redline + am seeing about 4 mpg's better!!!!
