RF85, possible no lube solution?

Several years ago I heard about Anderson Arms using this stuff on their rifle internals and they fired several thousand rounds with no lube and no issues. You clean the rifle internals with soap and water, unless you're storing them for a long period, then they suggest using some oil.
Apparently it's also applied to race engines. Since I first heard of it I've been meaning to look into this for the apex seals and other parts of the engine, but now I'm thinking about even more things in there. ALL the surfaces that make contact. All the seals including the oil control ring trays and both the surfaces they make contact with (housings and irons), the rotor and stationary bearings and the e-shaft, all of it.
I contacted the company to see what kind of heat it can handle and if it's good with all fuel types and oil. I'm assuming that part should be OK since they do race engines, but the heat is mainly what I'm concerned about since it will be seeing combustion directly. I'm really hopeful for this.
