While cleaning out my Dad's barn I came upon several unopened cases of S.A.E. 30 Moly Long Oil. The cans show API service classification of SD,SE,CC and CD. Also Mil. Specs. MIL-L-2104B, MIL-L-45199B, MIL-L-2104C, MIL-L-46152. It also shows specs. for Mack, Caterpillar, International Harvester, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Chrysler, Ford, and....American Motors(?). It was made or marketed by the International Molybdenum Corporation (IMC) of Pompano Beach, FL.
According to the label, it supposedly contains 1% molybdenum di-sulfide and is good for 75,000 miles or 12 months between changes.
I'm wondering is this safe to use in my Kubotas. From the API CD classification, I'd suspect it is. Judging from the old-style cardboard cans and the American Motors reference, this stuff has probably been sitting there since the '70s.
Does anyone know anything about this oil? Can anyone think of a good reason to NOT use it? Hate to be spending good money for oil when there's gallons of the stuff sitting around. There's also a 50 gallon drum of oil in another location that's supposedly for diesel engines. Dad used to work for Mobil.
