Gio Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just tried to order some of the MG final drive 80/90 with moly and was told by the dealer that this has been discontinued - MG now recommending Motul 80/90 with moly - anyone know how this stacks up against the good old stuff , moly content or otherwise? Always happy with the old stuff and was planning on using in the final drive of the BMW until realising I was out of it. Adding moly to your favourite oil is also an option of course but becomes an expensive option with shipping to Canada. I checked Motul data sheet but all it says is "moly re-inforced for "noisy" transmissions" (... how would they know that ???) Gio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I used the MG final drive oil exclusively before going down the slippery slope of RedLine Shockproof (heheh- "slippery slope" - I cracks me up . . . I did learn somewhere along the way that Motul was the OEM supplier for the MG moly gearoil. I believe it is one and the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Interesting docc ... like you (and many others) am a total convert for SPH in the tranny (and co-incidentally ordered some lightweight 75/140 for the BMW trans today) - but have always preferred that traditional "80/90 dino with moly" feel for the back-end ... no reason to doubt equi (or better) effectiveness, just a choice. Hey - it's an oil and so ignites more than rational thought or decision, right? Good info re the Motul - if it's the same stuff I'll be happy!

LowRyter Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You can get Molly from Harper's. IIRC, It should be enough product for 2 or 3 services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks LowRyter - I looked into getting some moly additive but the shipping costs into Canada are very high ... have now found a local dealer who can bring in the Motul with moly stuff quite reasonably.
