Anybody used Molybdenum Disulphide in V6?

Anybody used molybdenum Disulphide in there V6 to reduce wear on bearings and reduce chance of worn bearings wrapping?
Been reading some information from south Africa RRS owners who are using anti friction agents to counter the crank problem. Always listen to old people or when they die you will live on in ignorance.

Snake Oil is way better Big Cry
Cranks snap due to low or no oil .Or poor quality / wrong spec oil fitted and not changed enough .

I have not found any technical articles saying it does not work the following being typical.


They found a consistent decrease in piston wear in engines when a dispersion of molybdenum disulphide in the engine oil was used. The effect on wear rate when the molybdenum disulphide was added, and the reduction in wear rate of the bearings was over 40%.

Lived in Australia ...I like snakes. Always listen to old people or when they die you will live on in ignorance.

Yeah, details of the experiments, the control comparisons, etc., would be great. Thumbs Up

Any evidence of risks to catalysts and DPFs? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
