lubro-Moly Motor oil?

[fkong777]

My car fan clutch went out yesterday. so I brought it into a shop to swap it out.. I thought I support my mechanic since he is a nice guy and it will be faster to get it fix than if I " DIY "

My Tech told me that my valve is noisy so He said he is going to swap in some Lubro-moly Anti-friction motor oil. It will clear out the valve noise. That stuff is weird the oil is totally black.. it is like a dull black. He said the stuff is great.. Anyone used it?

Well, I'm getting the car back today so I will see if it take away the valve noise and maybe give me better performance.

OK since no one reply to give me the 411 on lubro-Moly Mos2 antifriction motor oil.

Here is my impression.

The valve noise has surely gone away for the most part. The engine seem smoother. I hope I get better milege. I was using Mobil 1 before my tech change out the oil to Lubro-Moly and I can feel the improvement from Mobil 1

Interesting stuff.

hmm - never heard of the stuff... I'm assuming it's some sort of engine cleaner like Auto RX that you run through the system before an oil change?

I used Auto RX on my sister's POS mazda protege because it had a pretty bad sludge problem due to lack of oil changes - cleaned the thing right out - I was pretty amazed.

no it is the motor oil. full 5-6 quart of it.. but they are packaged in litres..

I've heard of the stuff, pretty expensive over here. I was wondering if it would work well. What weight did you use? Bavauto carries lubro moly, and they make sure to mention it in every brochure

[fkong777]

the MoS2 antifriction only comes 10-40
I like it.. definitely an improvement over Mobil 1.

I've used the stuff from time to time, depending on where I do my oil change. I like it, although I don't notice that much of a difference comparing it with other major synthetic oil. Its about the same price too.

BMW recommends this motor oil for almost any BMW. I use it in my '03 530i and it works great. A HUGE upgrade from Castrol full synthetic. Bavauto is a great place to buy it from.

How is is a huge upgrade? I'd love if it was but castrol edge is pretty darn good seeing as it lasts at least 10k between changes
