I’m not an oil expert at all. Why is Moly bad?

It's too slippery. It's one of the main "Energy Conserving" additives that will mess with a wet clutch. But it can still be okay in moderation. Some people use the above Mobil 1 5w30 automotive oil in their wet clutch and have no problems.

Id be willing to bet that the moly in the GN4 is a residual trace from a previous batch, and not actually in there by design. Honda doesn't make oil products, they subcontract the work out, to the lowest bidder whose oil meets their specs.
