Liqui moly MOS2 - moly additive. Does it help to reduce friction?

Out of Warranty
Read the label carefully (how many times have we heard that and ignored it?). There were, probably fifty years ago, a number of "Liquid Moly" products available as a transmission additive. They were a boon to manual transmission owners, especially in racing applications where Moly products were used in the transmissions and rear ends of racing cars to reduce friction and heat. They reduced the considerable effort in shifting particularly recalcitrant old English sports cars, especially when cold.
Then somebody, thinking if it's good in your manual transmission, it's got to be good in your automatic, too. .
WRONG . . . It was too good. Moly supposedly increased the lubricity of the tranny fluid to the point that the bands had very little grip, leaving you sitting in your garage, in gear, racing the engine, unable to even back out of your driveway. The fix required a tear-down and thorough cleaning, but if expensive, it provided a good lesson: What's sauce for the goose . . . . isn't necessarily sauce for the gander.
