As a side note back in the 60's my father sold Honda motorcycles - and
- an oil additive that included MDS. We did not do strict scientific
experiments but from observation of a fleet of several hundred units
there was a very good correlation between the use of the MDS and
increased fuel mileage, longevity, and decreased wear. I tried a
similar product several years ago but unfortunately I did not get the
same results. One explanation may be that the old Hondas did not have
oil filters and the particles in the newer product were simply
filtered out.


at one stage the local motor cycle oils dried up as businesses went to
the wall so I used castrol GTX which has molybdenium disulphide in it.
after about a thousand km my clutch would slip and nothing I did could
stop it. until I used straight oil with no moly disulphide, whereupon
the clutch would stop slipping. the additives work.

tungsten ... interesting.
