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].
