Upguy1 Clutched May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 Anyone has experience with moly EP?? Used it and loved the smoothness associated with it. am currently on 5-20wt oil..adding moly EP at 5k (midway to OCI) gave the oil a new lease of life... but i read in bitog that it will thicken the oil by 1 grade... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus 3rd Gear May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 Me using it. Indeed the engine run much smoother when I add it in. But the strange thing is I understand from BIGOT that the quantity of moly is rather little in Schaeffer Moly EP, but good news is it is ester based? Suppose to be slippery stuff which cling to the metal parts.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowbar Neutral Newbie May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 i tink if ur using Schaeffer engine oil..moly is already included in the premix Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus 3rd Gear May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 Yes, I understand that schaeffer engine oil does contain alot of moly, but I'm not using that.... Just curious why so little MOLY in schaeffer MOLY EP? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 The ingredient that makes the different is Moly EP is antimony (Sb). That is why there is little moly (Mo) in it. Sb is an extreme pressure additive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errrmmm..... what does this mean in layman terms??? I use it with LC20.... very good and makes the oil last w/o any consumption. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 (edited) It's an additive that helps the oil do it's job mainly from being pressured (squeezed between two metal surfaces). A mixture of MolyEP and LC20 created the famed "Molabrew" named after Molakule from BITOG. The oil sort of becomes "invincible".

Fitzy Neutral Newbie May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 Anyone tried using molabrew? Feedbacks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upguy1 Clutched May 16, 2007 Author Share May 16, 2007 i have yet to try molabrew....now saving up some mola.....perhaps at 7.5k then i will try... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Neutral Newbie May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 im still trying to get hold of LC20, too busy to get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear May 17, 2007 Share May 17, 2007 Nope. I would prefer straight oil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwoon 1st Gear May 17, 2007 Share May 17, 2007 Use the additives, whatever they are when the oil is fresh. At 7.5K kms, the oil is already so spent.... the additives is not gonna help much by then. Correct me if I'm wrong, the additives is used to help maintain the oil properties or improve it slightly, but it cannot retore the oil properties.

Upguy1 Clutched May 20, 2007 Author Share May 20, 2007 i intend to take the shaeffers oil to 12k at least.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwoon 1st Gear May 20, 2007 Share May 20, 2007 I think it should not be a problem ... but put in the additive when you do the oil change. Don't wait till it is already sheared to put it in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus 3rd Gear May 21, 2007 Share May 21, 2007 But I think even if already sheared and put in Moly EP is still ok, cos it will increase the viscosity by a bit maybe bringing it close to the original weight.... I have ever added Moly EP after around 7k mileage and the difference is quite obvious....meaning the engine rev much smoother, seems like it rejuvenate the old engine oil... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
