I'm assuming "Liquid Moly" has something to do with Molybdenum DiSulphide as an additive; an additive that has been around for many decades, in one form or another. How "Boron antiwear" comes into the picture, escapes me.
No, I'm not familiar with it. There are many excellent synthetic oils, but I would stick with 0W-40 weight for most environments, and check out the additive package contents of Zinc and Phosphorus...then make a comparison there, also considering availability of course.
No. Mobil-1 has 70 times as much molybdenum disulfide as Liqui Moly or Lubro Moly
Since Mobil 1 0W-40 uses Molybdenum Disulfide, which you claim "(I think) clogs filters", and 186 ppm Boron, which you don't understand AT ALL, apparently, why would you use this technology?
Little data available in the US on HKS oil. What country are you from, and what other brands are available?
Apparently you have an AGENDA, and you don't like to hear honest/straightforward opinions and experience given in answer to a question. Pasting Links to in part tangential
Yep. It's called education. E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N.
Anecdotal opinions based on wild buttock guesses about what "Liqui Moly" is, and that proven Molybdenum Disulfide used by Mobil-1 might clog filters based on WHAT experience, mind you? Is this the cogent writing you speak of? Well, allow me to retort.

Indeed. It's a passion dude. The amount of misinformation and old wives tales out there that people pass off as "facts" send me into a tizzy, and it IS my personal mission in life to stomp bullshit and urban legends about lubricants into the worthless drivel that they are.
Thanks. It definately has some followers on Bobistheoilguy, because it's US product (LubroMoly) can be purchased at NAPA and Sears. I know many of the BMW owners are concerned that the product doesn't carry official BMW certification, but that is often a formality, rather than a real selling point. The analyses look solid.
Lots of good results here for 300v in both the 5w-40 and 15w-50 variety here on GT-R's. Nobody has tested in the U.S. yet. My major worry about the Motul racing oils seems to have a low amount of detergent. Motul stands by them as still street able oils, and there is no documented increase in engine deposits that I'm aware of.
I tried doing a search about the detergent level on the Liquimoly, how does the Liquimoly 10w60 compare to the Mobil 1 in that department?
I cannot tell. The LubroMoly and LiquiMoly OTHER formulations have a fair amount LESS (see above analyses on LubroMoly and Mobil-1 - look at the levels of CALCIUM and MAGNESIUM and compare). LuquiMoly 10W60 is a RACING oil, and traditionally, other companies racing formulations have much less detergent/dispersant. They rely on the oil being changed more frequently to keep engine deposits down.
