Arco Graphite 20w50 on the old Camaro, my Javelin, wife's Jeep, and my Dak.

I had run a test several years ago and the results were the same with the
"Wonder Lube" as without. All of the engines were treated with the
Graphite. (BTW: Popular belief is that Graphite "plugs up" the oil
filters...this is not true since Graphite flows well below any micron rating
on any oil filter.)
