Helicopter mechanic. Normal aircraft don't try to beat themselves to death in a spastic fandango, especially the multirotor models I worked on. There's a good reason why we describe helicopters as "a large collection of parts from a variety of provenances flying in loose formation."

The MoS2 will not remain in suspension in the oil, most of it attaches to the internal metal surfaces of the engine.

I'll top it up to full after I add it, and keep an eye on it. I don't want the crankcase overly full of any liquid, for any length of time. Had a bad experience once (thanks jiffy lube). 0.5L won't make a difference with a engine this large anyway.
