This thread has got me overly intrigued...


I'll call them up and see if they want to dyno my car, I'm local-ish...
Let them do 10 runs pre and post?

There's a post that someone with an NSX tried it out, and it worked well...

I really want to see what an oil analysis would reveal. Looking at the bottle again, it doesn't say that it is safe for catalytic converters, so maybe it's ZDDP, making it essentially fancy break in oil.

And we have a winner. NASA has used MoS2 and PFPE in space (damn you NASA for being down, that was a tad harder to find)

MoS2 - Molybdenum disulfide
PFPE - too long to write, it's a sister to PTFE (designed as a liquid form of PTFE)
PTFE - Teflon, novel idea, but it's old school Slick50, works, but Teflon builds up and can cause blockage of oil passages in small areas.


All that being said, you'd still need an oil analysis to see if it's MoS2, PFPE, or ZDDP, or a mix of them

it's not Teflon. and they will do before/after dyno for you, they asked to do my car but I'm not local.

I said not Teflon. I said PFPE, which is similar to Teflon, but designed as a liquid form of it.


Just going off the "Space" claim, it's either PFPE or MoS2.
If they are adding their own twist, I'd assume ZDDP.

This is pretty interesting. would also like to see dyno numbers. how often do you have to use it?

I've had 6 Nissan's Ester oil changes and another scheduled next Saturday...and I don't plan on changing to anything else...Sounds smooth like the day she left the show room.
