Interesting, since the vast majority of racing oils now contain a fair amount of molydisulfide additives.

I have had various DLC coating applicators tell me not to use certain motor oils, but they've never said anything about moly disulfide in the oil, and have in fact suggested oils with a fair amount of moly disulfide in them.


That's certainly a subject that requires a lot more investigation. I look at DLC coating as being problematic, at best, it often appears to create almost as many problems as it seems to solve.
