504/507 oils tend to not include much if any moly additives. As it's a 'low-ash' / mid-SAPS' oil the anti-wear additives must not produce ash if possible (MoDTC does not fall into this category.) For these reasons (and no doubt others) most 504/507 oils are
Boron heavy in their additive package. PP Euro LX0W30 is no different with +500ppm Boron.

Thanks. Moly is schaeffers thing though.
"Advanced European Performance Mid SAPs SAE 5W-30 also contains two proven frictional
modifiers, Micron Moly®
, a liquid soluble molybdenum and Schaeffer Mfg.'s own proprietary
additive, Penetro. Once plated, these two proven frictional modifiers form a long lasting, slippery,
tenacious lubricant film, which prevents metal surfaces from coming into contact with each other
and helps prevent damaging frictional wear, reduce wear and provide:
ï¶ Increased fuel economy
ï¶ A low coefficient of friction
ï¶ Significantly less bearing, ring, piston, cylinder and valve-train wear
ï¶ Increased engine efficiency and engine durability
ï¶ Increased engine life, less down-time and reduced maintenance costs"
