Backstory: My father is a mad scientist and he's built about 150 engines over his lifetime. He had the world's 1st cold side supercharged Miata (putting 465whp b4 he added nitrous). He had a liquid-cooled computer when we were using dial-up. He built a 1200whp zo6. He's built battle bots that beat the reigning champ several years back. He hemi-ported my Yamaha blaster ATV engine to outrun my bud's Toomey-piped Banshee back in the day. He built me a tournament level paintball gun when I was playing competitively. Needless to say, when he tells me the earth is flat, I tend to believe him lolol.

Anyway I digress. On to the subject - He just mailed me this engine powder and i finally opened it (admittedly thought it was going to be some Colombian bam bam haha). Apparently it's a miracle powder but you know how those typically pan out so I'm still a bit skeptical. I'm hoping that those with knowledge like @OnTheReel can give some knowledgeable feedback here before i start dumping it everything from my kid's UTV to the lawnmower to the Rex to our electric golf cart to test it out 😂 😂

Or just buy liqui moly MoS2 at autozone, the problem with diy powder mixing is too much and you can plug the oil filter and/or have a bunch of sediment throughout the engine, just a gram or less per quart of oil - with that bag you got you can sell dime bags of moly and make a fortune. I've been using liqui moly in all my k5s for years, I have 400k miles on the one I have now with great compression until the timing chain broke. Although I'm not ready to ues it in the TRX with 22000 miles
 
It's been a few years since I read the manual, but think it says not to add anything to the 6.2.

Or maybe it was just octane booster they didn't want added?
 
Powdered MoS2 like that can work well added to grease if you want to get crafty, but I would NOT use it engine oil. The moly used in engine oil is MoDTC which is an oil soluble form that transforms into MoS2 under load, much better suited to the job.

At any rate, these are all synergistic additives and blindly adding more of something to an oil rarely has the desired effect.

I am comfortable spiking additional ZDDP into some of the modern “neutered” oils when needed but I do somewhat know what I’m doing and what treat rate I’m going for. And generally I stick to oils that have the formulas I want without me having to put on my lab coat in the first place.
 
I finally found something to critique in your great posts, OnTheReel.

It's really supposed to be "formulae", not formulas.
Almost went there but decided my post was geeky enough as it was. Had to go for the less formal formula.
