Mobil One is a > synthetic oil and does not contain graphite. This comment about Arco being off the market - actually, Arco stopped selling it through non-Arco outlets, but I kept buying it at my neighborhood Arco station until May, when I sold my 510 with 150,000 mi, running OK. As for clogging oil passages, it certainly didn't clog the passages where the oil escaped from [:-) but true]. -- Gene E. Bloch (...!nsc!voder!gino)
