I don't own a car, but I attribute several thousand of the
22K on my 1966 Honda S90 (remember the one you had when you were
a kid?) to Arco graphite, which I changed religiously every
500 miles.  I stopped using it, though, because it was impossible
to "read" the used oil--you can't find metal flakes in that black
ooze--and because the black stains it puts on any piece of
clothing you even think about when you're changing your oil do
not come out.  I use Valvoline super-racing straight weights
when I can find them, otherwise 20W-50, now, and am very pleased.
I suspect that a thousand miles on that 8 hp, 1cyl. engine is
equivalent to several times that distance on a real engine.
At 40 mph, normal speed, it works hard.
