Adding Molybdenum Disulfide to Engine Oil ? Good or Bad?
Friction eats horsepower.So far I have only come across 2 brands of oil namely HKS and Motul which contains Molybdenum.I have been told that I have to drain out the oil after every race and I did not know the reason until recently, after reading the article below.I now want to conduct an experiment by adding pure liquid moly with engine oil to my engine to prove whether it really frees up HP on the dyno.Is liquid Moly soluble in engine oil? Is it too risky? Comments?

Quote from the article:
"Improving fuel efficiency by adding molybdenum disulfide and/or graphite to the engine oil and achieving low friction and low wear using fatty acids and organic sulphur compounds together are two examples of friction modification
However, molybdenum disulfide may decompose and release sulphur, causing corrosive wear, depending on conditions, and its lubrication working mechanism may be assumed interms of iron sulphide coating formation by the released sulphur."

Try some Torco. It has their additive called MPZ. The M stands for Molybdenum ("moly").
I was told by Torco that moly is a very good additive because unlike zinc additives moly has a higher vaporization point so it's consumption rate is lower so you can put less of it in and it be more effective and not adversely affect the other property of the oil such as foaming etc.
You want the red moly and not the black moly.
