Composed of an extremely fine power-based lubricant suspended in a liquid lubricant, RS-R claims the substance was developed by the aerospace industry to adhere to the metallic surfaces of machinery operating in zero-gravity climates, where oil retention/re-accumulation would otherwise be a problem. Also according to them, a small amount of the stuff increases the lubricity of engine oil down here on Earth (its powder-based lubricant small enough to pass through filter media), cutting frictional energy losses, and allowing cars to turn out more horsepower and torque with increased fuel economy and decreased emissions.
Remember LE-607 with Almasol?
That worked / works.
But.. in our engine there is no such high load metal-to-metal contact area without pressurised oil feed, like in the diff where pinion meets ring.
I wonder how long it would take for that fine powder to build-up somewhere you don't want it to, like small low flow oil passages.

how come every revolutionary product claims to come form NASA technology. I don't want to keep pushing the Slick50 thing but they said the same thing about Teflon. All I need to see is a "As Seen on TV" sticker on it.
You're definitely right about RSR not being an oil manufacturer/company. They have a hard time getting a couple hp out of their headers but they can get 8 hp from a lubricant ?. Racing teams would kill to get 8 hp of free power, you think they would have developed this and used it long ago.
