Yes. That's mostly what was stated in the thread I linked from what I remember.That's true, and they have never used a proprietary blend. But molybdenum is reported to aid in seating of the rings and suspension of particulates from the assembly process. It's used in very specific amounts during assembly and mixes with the factory fill upon first startup. And I'm willing to bet it will continue to show up on any UOA on the factory fill. This is why Honda wants their motors to run through their first full cycle prior to changing out the moly-rich oil.
But whether the actual oil fill is any different is a mystery. Maybe you'll find out.
