Never spoken to anyone who has used it...
I'm presuming its very expensive????

It's under $20 for about 500ml. So it's cheaper (by volume) than the Nulon stuff... but you have to use more of it.. so it evens out I think.
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
So, anyone on here using it in their gearbox???
the little gadgets they have to show you how it works
seems to make a big difference...
good thing about gearboxes, once You add this stuff You don't need to change it until something happens... or
at least the oil change would be in a few years time....

Have a look at how Moreys/Lucas works in gears here:
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/images/lucas/lucas.htmHas anyone used penrite 10/10ths 75-90 synthetic ?? or any synthetic for that matter ??
there is a fair bit on synths in STF ,personally i will stick to dino's with my molybond, if you read the specs it will tell you that the average particle size is .5 micron ,which cannot possibly promote skidding etc as bearing tolerances are MUCH greater.

MOLYBOND Formula 2.5
Oil additive containing molybdenum disulphide
Description
Molybond Formula 2.5 is a mineral oil dispersion containing 20% by weight of colloidal molybdenum disulphide,
meeting the DEF2304 purity specification. The average particle size of the colloidal molybdenum disulphide is less
than half a micron. Formula 2.5 is intended for addition directly to oil systems which enables the benefits of wear
reduction to be achieved without changing oil.
Areas of application
• Gearboxes
• Crankcases
• Engines
• Differentials
Features
• Available in 40g tube
• Reduces friction and wear
• Accelerates the running-in process
• Reduces oil temperature
• Reduces noise in gearboxes
Directions for use
Molybond Formula 2.5 is designed for addition to most lubricating oil systems, with the amount required, varying with
the end use of the lubricating oil. A general guide is as follows:-
Hydraulic systems 2 tubes per 10 litres of oil
Automotive Engines 2 tubes per 5 litres of oil
Gear & Differentials 1 tube per litre of oil
WARNING:- Formula 2.5 can reduce friction of oil lubricated clutches.

Health & safety information
The product is hazardous. A Material Safety Datasheet is available from the Rocol Customer Services
Department upon request.
standard abec tolerances are in the order of 8 microns in the raceway runout for bearings to 30mm O.D after that it gets much greater :beer:beer:beer
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Thanks for that....
thats what I'll use... the old Molybond....

Where does one obtain this Molybond?
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
mmm what an essay, 85-90weight with nulon is looking like the easiest.
So everyone reckons the Nulon stuff is ACTUAL beneficial?
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
It made amazing difference to my sons MG Midget, before stiff and notchy, short time after quick & smooth, just like a VW box
Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54
yep. same with my bros old bay.
nasty and noisy, hard to find gears before. even after a recent oil change a few months prior.
changed the oil and added some nulon and much happier. not brand new, but a noticable improvement.
I've been putting nulon in cars for years. Doesn't turn the motor brand new but it helps it a lot. Our old swift had done 250,000 plus kays on the original motor and is still going fine. the friend we gave it too only needed the water pump and clutch changed recently.
Nulon has teflon in it and its supposed to coat parts with the teflon to stop wear....
I have been using it for many years in Mitsubishi cars and have never had any gearbox problems...
I have never really noticed anything though...
I really do prefer Molybond type products...
