Auto gearboxes does not have any gears in there except a set of planetery and sun gear sets which gives you all your gears, so there's not much friction in it. Power loss througth the auto transmission comes from conversion of the hydraulic pressure force to friction force on the clutch packs. Even on manual transmissions, should never use any additives as the synchoronizers need a certain amount of friction to align the gear teeths for a proper shift. Misshifts will wack out the synchor's 1st then the gear sets. I've never seen a Getrag / ZF manual gearbox busted so far by using dino oil.Your transmission fluid has the necessary friction modifiers to make it work in optimum conditions.Moly in the form of molydenum disulfide is a nasty black ordour stuff people used to coat the barrels of cannons and guns to make the projectile fly straighter when exiting the barrel. It's also been used to coat engine surfaces and usually a 1 time application is enough as it coves the crevices and pores of the rotating parts mircostructure. Best to use the concentrate and not the engine oil. Would you feel the difference? Yes you may if your engine built tolerence is bad from the factory. I doubt BMW's have low precision machining parts as most parts are aluminium-alloy based and the fit tolerences are normally tight.Check out Mugen's MT105 and a company called Mircolon for more info.</blockquote>
