Changed trans oil today

So I bought 5 litres of Redline MTL and changed oil today. Oh my is it different... it shifts so smooth and fine compared to before and it's getting better each minute. I also poured some of this in there:

http://www.x1r.info/mcr.html

It's all in swedish but I found an english translation;
"Our flagship product. X-1R Concentrate Additive dramatically reduces friction for any metal part that requires a lubricant. Proven in engines (gasoline and diesel), transmissions (automatic and standard), differentials and power steering, X-1R Concentrate Additive reduces vibration and temperature in many types of gear boxes and hydraulic systems. Compatible with most lubricants, hydraulic fluids, cutting fluids and other industrial oils, X-1R has been proven in all types of engines and industrial equipment."

I have this in the engine as well and since I poured it in the valve lifters stopped ticking, even in very cold weather... and it feels like I got a little extra power as well but that's hard to prove. Could be something else. It has done nothing but good though... and for around $20 I sure think I got my moneys worth. I also use their fuel additive which boosts octane level a bit and cleans the fuel system. Since I started using it my (probably) clogged fuel injector started to work just fine. No more running on 5 cylinders

Here's the english site:

Don't really care where you can buy the stuff, the easier to overcome the better, right? Over here we only have it at certain retailers but it still doesn't matter, now does it?

For a product to be good, is there some kind of rule that it has to be really rare or hard to find? Your post sure sounds like so.
