Default Tungsten Disulfide burnishing

I believe he did in fact mean Tungsten. See page 4 of this link:

As a side note back in the 60's my father sold Honda motorcycles - and
- an oil additive that included MDS. We did not do strict scientific
experiments but from observation of a fleet of several hundred units
there was a very good correlation between the use of the MDS and
increased fuel mileage, longevity, and decreased wear. I tried a
similar product several years ago but unfortunately I did not get the
same results. One explanation may be that the old Hondas did not have
oil filters and the particles in the newer product were simply
filtered out.

Maybe for VW use one could simply add the WSX after the first oil
change along with a cored oil filter - if one is using a
filter ......... as they should. It "worked" on 60's vintage Hondas.
