IMO the only additives should be used for normal use is occasionally a fuel additive to remove condensation and water from gas. Nothing else. Now if an engine has a problem and or is on its last legs try everything. I do use additives when warranted. However, for a low mileage new car running perfectly. Ugh. Pains me to see people dumping crap into their cars.

I LOVE that oil!! Look at all that moly and practically zero wear metals,plus QS is cheap!
I think the nano prime is supposed to have tungsten in it?
Looks great, barely any wear. Im guessing the nano is a good shot of Moly?
Yes, the Nano Prime advertises it has Tungsten and Moly (what form I do not know, it came out a blue color) also Zinc according to its MSDS. Nano Prime completely quieted the noisy Subaru Valve train after ~ 2000 miles. No MPG increase or decrease. Engine has ~ 500 miles on new oil and noise has not returned (Yet). For the anti-additive folks, I know but realize I am the type of person that adds STPP to the laundry as a Water softener (I have hard water) and Detergent Builder.

I always laugh when people say never to use additives. What do you think is in motor oil?

Is this a GDI engine?
While the tungsten doesn't show up, I would have expected more moly... that 228ppm isn't much more than some non additized lubes. For what you likely spent on this oil change I'd have just bought either M1/Castrol EP products and ran them for 6k and probably still come out ahead...but it's your money, your car.
Email Rislone and ask them if their product would impart nickel into the lube.
This thread is funny. QSUD consistently has great UOA's and some members want these results attributed to Rislone.

I emailed Rislone about the Nickel, I don't have good luck in getting a straight answer from companies.

Keep using the QSUD.
