G'day,

I use this in every engine I have including my generators, new cars, GMC, etc. I've been a fan of moly since the 60's but at that time it could get trapped in oil filters. New formulations are much finer.

Bob,

Point of clarification, do you use this particular product or something else.

From Amazon it appears to be reasonably priced @ $9.16 for a single can:

http://www.amazon.com/Liqui-Moly-2009-Anti-Friction-Treatment/dp/B003U4O414/ref=pd_bxgy_auto_img_y

A box of 20 @ $114.06 + Free Shipping works out at $5.70 a can!

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G4UI3E0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&s=

Regards,
Rob M.

I've been using LiquiMoly ever since Bob first mentioned it several years
ago. Periodically -- nowhere near as religiously as Bob. Does it help?...

I've just been a fan of MS02 ever since, IIRC, 1954, when Ford began using
it in the grease of their first front ball joints -- SEALED! :-)

MS02 is the main reason I only use Valvoline Synpower grease -- and have no
more steering column CV binding.

Just don't get it on anything SHE cares about.

Ken,

I ordered a case of 20 for JohnS and myself from Amazon, they're out of stock at the moment but I won't need it until I get back
there later this year.

I'm with you on the Synpower too.

Regards,
Rob M.

I use the valvoline synthetic moly ONLY in places where I'm worried about heat like wheel bearings.

TSC has non-synthetic Moly grease fairly cheap. I still on a case I bought years ago.

Also Pep Boys has Valvoline synnpower at $5.50 per 1 pound can (not tubes). Check on their web site.

Rob,

Thanks for finding that.

I have lost my source of MoS2 Colloid as Hinkel bought out the friendly company I used to get it from. They will only sell a 50# pail and I don't have any means to handle that. They won't put it in little bottles at any price. I don't call that friendly.

That's the one I use but last purchased it off Ebay for a similar price.

G'day,

This is for the other Aussies.

We can't get Valvoline Synpower here BUT Bob Cook noted that Caterpillar Desert Gold is the same formulation which we CAN get here.

It comes in US grease gun tube size AND Aussie grease gun tube size. The Aussie tubes are designed to work upside down better.

Regards,
Rob M.

PS - HA HA - I beat you guys to the punch!

Rob,

I just got back to my notes and found that I had come across that last year. The problem is that the MoS2 density is not specified and neither is the particle distribution. working from their suggested dosing, is about six times the cost of what I bought a few years ago.

Google does not cover industrial suppliers real well but they are real good to the people that buy the position in the topic.

Rob,

Oh about 700$us, and I seriously considered buying a can and then looking for a company to put it in 1pint bottles or even acquiring the capability myself, but that is just more investment than I can put forward these days.

I passed off enough of the last buy to GMC people to almost make the operation feasible. It would be hard to do at this volume.

I still really wish that they were at all specific about the product, but they aren't - even on the German site you are buying a pig in a poke you just know it has some moly in it.

Well it appears that Liqi Moly is the only crap game in town if one wants to add moly!

Our first 78 Royale had 154,000 miles on it when the frig burned it up. Had the log since new. Always had 10/30 dino oil used in it. No additives, or synthetics. Compression was 135 to 145 lbs. Hot oil pressure was at 35 psi. Used a qt in 2200 miles. It's going in another GMC as is. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale

As far as moly grease goes I use. Molykote br2 plus grease. I've been using this on our machines for over 40 years. Everything I've used it on lasts longer than nay other grease we have used.
