Adding Z-Moly Powder to Oil???

[HammerDown]

Heres a question or comment...If Synthetic Oils (or others)are so great, then why do some here feel the need to add this z-moly powder to them?
And with all the R+D the oil Co's spend on exact blends of additive packages for there specific oil, why take the chance of messing with the balance of that additive package, that a highly experienced Chemist designed?
I dont know of any Major Oil Co's that would ever suggest to use any extra additives with there products.
I've tryed Lucas oil additive, always herd great things about it...for some reason I felt the need to drain it out and I did.
Is there a qualified Petroleum Chemist from any Major oil Co. on this forum or any other that would ok adding z-moly to there oil????
I'm going to post this same question/comment on the other motor related Forums I visit, and see what the replys are.

The above post is a comment I posted on another form...one that has a person suggesting to add Z-Moly Powder to there oil. Just wanted to here the feedback here.

THE BOSTON SIDEWINDER:
I HAVE ADDED LIQUID MOLY TO TRANNIES AND REAR ENDS, BUT NOT ANY THING MARINE, KEEP US POSTED...BILL. Bill, I would NOT in any way shape or form add Moly powder or paste to a motor oil. (Moly paste for Cam break in...another story).
All the research I looked into turned up negative.
I've gotten responces such as, it will clog up a filter, it will settle in parts of the motor, even this comment from Blackstone Labs.> "Ray: Sorry about the delay in getting you a response. You will want to be careful adding straight Molybdenum Disulfide to the engine. In this form, it doesn't tend to mix well and could settle out or cause oil flow restrictions. "
Other info stated that Moly that is already present in motor oil was first blended with a carrier oil to allow constant suspension and then be properly mix with the base stock...something us shade tree mechanics cant do.
I would have to listen to the Trybyoligist (oil chemist) before mixing up and using my own back yard brew of oil additives.
I know that some still do...but I'll pass.
