Looks quite similar to my old M1 5W-40 UOA samples with MOS2. They both use a lot of calcium vs a magnesium/calcium mix for Rotella T6. Tough to compare a VOA with my UOAs but the Molygen may be a touch thicker than M1 at temp? Otherwise pretty much identical, not seeing what’s particularly special about it unless I’m missing something. I’m with Barry, add MOS2 if you’re using this. Here are a few UOAs for comparison. M1’s are the two on the right side.
And here’s a Rotella T6 5W-40 VOA just because I couldn’t find one for M1 5W-40. It’s the old formula which had more mag. I know what I’m sticking with.

This oil has many proven excellent UOA results as well.

Rotella (**** you autocorrect), is a great oil. I use it in my A8, and my diesel pickup, and all of the tractors. (The 15/40 flavor)
I suppose I could add the MoS2 to the rotella to have a comparable benefit to the WS2.
When I bought my S4, and had dreaded the replacement of the 64 feet of timing chains I vowed to use nothing but the 10/40 Liqui Moly MoS2 oil to preserve the guide rails.
