Liqui Moly MOS2
@703 As I've already stated, I'm not here to debate the use of additives. My post was for the purposes of gathering people's experience with MOS2, and specifically in 4th Gen 3.5 liter Toyota engines.

Your post #8 states you've driven 2 million miles and never used an additive. So why all of a sudden do you feel the need use one now? Doesn't seem like you're getting the positive responses you keep asking for with this product.

Incompatibility with advanced engine designs like the 2GR, which have tight tolerances and variable valve timing systems. The solid particles of MoS2, despite being microscopic, could clog oil passages, interfere with sensors, or be filtered out by oil filters, rendering them ineffective or even harmful. Additionally, modern synthetic oils are formulated with a precise balance of additives that work together; introducing MoS2 could disrupt this balance, diminishing the effectiveness of critical additives like detergents and dispersants.
non compliance with industry standards, specifically those set by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Engine oils must meet stringent API specifications to ensure they are suitable for modern engines and emissions systems. Incorporating solid additives like MoS2 can lead to increased ash content and deposit formation, which may harm catalytic converters and particulate filters, resulting in higher emissions. This would invalidate the oil’s API certification, making it non-compliant with manufacturer requirements and voiding vehicle warranties.

A) It doesn't matter why I'm choosing to use an additive, that's not what the thread was started for. B) I'm not searching for "positive responses". As originally posted, I'm asking for people's experiences on a particular product, on a particular engine. Those experiences can fall on either side of the spectrum. C) It's clear there is a comprehension deficiency (or maybe you just like to troll). Either way, your replies are not relevant as they don't fit the ask of the original post.
I’m because of your claims. Here is the run down

Nice write-up, but that doesn't have anything to do with people's experience with this product on the mentioned engine. "Could" and "could" doesn't equate to anything more than speculation. Again, the ask was for feedback from people who have used the product on this engine. If you don't have that, move along. No need to inject your opinion. You are not adding anything of relevance to the discussion.

I seriously doubt you are qualified to say "no one is using it". Or maybe you polled every single body and got an answer? Either way, I'm not playing your troll games either. Done exchanging with you.
Similar to the original poster of this topic, I'm not opposed to trying additives, not because I'm trying to fix things but because I like to try and make my car run even better and even smoother if possible! I came from having a 2004 LS430 which was almost silent on the road and going to an RX350 was a bit of a shock. Having said that I am wary of most additives and have only tried one nulon brand additive before but noticed nothing. I stick to OEM everything. I have never tried liquid moly products and to be honest I was curious about the MOS2 because there are quite a few good reviews about it but I saw a video about it on you tube - project farm channel (I love all the thorough testing this guy does on all sorts of products and he is totally independent and genuine) He reviewed the product and he found it made no improvements at all in his testing. I didn't like how thick the product looks either because he showed that too. I decided not to try it.
I'm pretty sure 703 meant that no one on this thread seems to have used this stuff. You're pretty new on here, so I would suggest you back off on your "troll" comments. And BTW, we are commenting with BenchTest on this thread, not you.
