Tungsten Disulfide burnishing

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.

Interesting. I've been using Castrol GTX in my cars and bikes but I
don't think the stuff in the USA has the molybdenium disulfide in it.
All the moly oils I'm aware of are black or close to it. Anyway I'll
buy another bottle and check the label.

Bob is that Tungsten?, or should it be Molybdenum Disulphide ??

Tungsten is tungsten (is wolfram); molybdenum is molybdenum.
But their sulfides are close kin, it seems.
