that is the absolute point it oly benefit some engines, ones that have side pressure or any condition where there is sliding metal, other wise it is close to enert rolling around oil. The metal in those conditions are the temps needed to plate. Often the same places mehanical sharing is happenng. If your engine is "perfect" maybe you wouldn't see much benefit, but it is like a cost nothing insurance policy. Moly oils are the same cost of none moly oils, why not run it? moly additives and moly oils are killing ticks all around the net, why? It does exacty what the white paper says it does, lowers the coefficient of friction.
Yep,and that goes back to my post about high moly oils making engines run smooth and quiet.
