I never run out of meds as I make them myself in my combination refrigerator/fungi lab.

PS If I had a dog that looked like you I'd shave it's ass and teach it to walk backwards. :-)

MoS2 is a solid which acts much like graphite, only better. It's a solid lubricant, good for sliding friction. I don't think that it would do anything at all to help brake free rusted nuts.

It is added to lubricants as a finely divided black powder. Since it is still a solid in suspension in the oil it would probably get filters out and left behind even if the oil did manage to penetrate thru the rust.

As a lubricant additive, however, it is really wonderful stuff when used in appropriate applications.

I heard long ago that a tube of MoS2 could be added to the tranny oil. This was supposed to prolong the life of an aging tranny on its way out.

Dow-Corning once made an MoS2 oil additive for this purpose. I don't think that anyone suggested that it could slow down the death of an already worn transmission. Instead, it was sold as preventative maintenace, intended to keep the transmission in like-new condition for much longer than straight gear lube could.

I used some in my 68 in about 1969. I havn't heard of it in the last

30 years. I suspect that improvements in gear lubes have made it nearly pointless. When I sold that car 10 years later the tranny was still fine, but I don't think that proves anything, most of them last much longer than 10 years anyway. -
