The fact appears to be true as you have stated. On moving parts like suspension bushings is where the graphite impregnated is said to help cut down on squeaking. Not so relevant when it comes to motor mounts. I stand corrected. :D

Graphite is indeed a dry lubricant. Are they much more expensive? I wanted the red ones for looks. If I want to stop the squeeking I'll just grind down a bunch of pencils and smear the graphite between the mounts :) :jester

If you would compare the engine movement between a Polymount and a "standard" interlocking rubbermount,how much more/less movement is there?

Much less movement with the poly mount. The standard mount has a locking tab to prevent the engine from lifting to far when the mount becomes warn or broken. I got the polygraphite engine and tranny mounts and there is very little movement. And still great vibration controll.
