An oil shedding coating that is also a thermal barrier can trap heat in a coated part. Using Teflon, which is a thermal insulator as an example, can work just fine on a Drag Racing engine but has the potential to cause thermal problems on an endurance engine. Not only the additives or suspended solids, but the binder/resin must also be chosen with care, as some will increase thermal retention. A choice must be made between an oil shedding thermal barrier type coating and an oil shedding thermal dispersant type coating.

I would love to see some A-B comparison data. i.e. Before and after coating - from a trusted source. Do you know what the total HP output of the DART engine was? 15HP out of what?
